There are so many places and attractions to visit within the Poitou-charentes Region.  Here are just a few:

The beautiful Château at La Rochefoucauld is magnificant.                    

Try the vélorail, which runs on old railway lines.  

Have a day at Futuroscope and experience the wonders of technology.

The experience of seeing the primates is great, just wonder through and see all the species.

Once a year the Circuits des Remparts enters Angoulême, all the vintage cars in the rally of the old town look great.

In August, this festival at the lovely town of Confolens takes place.  People from all over the world will entertain you.

The countryside surrounding the site is un-spoilt with many typical French villages and farms.

It is a very peaceful area with little road traffic, ideal for walking and cycling.
