Places to Visit

Poiters - Once the ancient capital of Poitou. The Futuroscope - A crystal formation with mirrored sides, a huge sphere set into a sloping glass surface and a translucent cube - just some of the futuristic buildings to be found at The Futuroscope.

Niort - From its humble origins as a village on the banks of the Sèvre-Niortaise river, Niort has grown to become the capital of the Deux-Sèvres départment.

The impressive medieval Donjon (Keep), housing an archaeological museum.

The excellent 19th-century covered market (Food and flowers). Opening times are Thursday and Saturday mornings from very early until 12.30. There is also occasional Sunday opening.

An 18 hole golf course, which is only a short drive away from the Château d'Og.

Marais Poitevin - To the west of Niort lies the Marais Poitevin, a maze of waterways and luxuriant vegetation. There are many marsh villages with quaysides, towpaths and white cottages with roman pantile roofs.  One of these villages, Coulon, is listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France. In Coulon is the 'Maison des Marais Mouillés', a visitors centre illustrating the traditional lifestyle and customs of the marshes.

Aquarium de la Venise Vert - An aquarium in Coulon showing the freshwater fauna of the Marais Potevin.  Boat trips - To explore the very heart of the Marais Poitevin, take a trip on a punt or in a rowing boat. Both guided and unguided trips are available lasting from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Tourist 'train' - This on-road tourist train, known as the 'Pibalou' covers distance of around 20km giving an insight into the geography and natural history of the Marais Poitevin. It runs daily from April to September, departing from Coulon.

La Rochelle -  For centuries, La Rochelle was an important maritime port. Now a major tourist centre, there are plenty of things to see and do. The best way to see La Rochelle is to take a stroll around the Old Harbour and through the nearby network of pedestrianised streets. Here you will see arcaded streets recalling the days when traders would show off their wares, on counters protected from the weather, as soon as they were unloaded from the ships. Some of the streets are cobbled with stones brought back as ballast by ships returning from taken emigrants to the New World.

Saintes - A town dating from the 1st-century A.D. on the banks of the river Charente, Saintes has numerous reminders from the time of the Roman occupation through the Middle Ages and later periods.

Royan - Situated at the point where the Gironde estuary meets the Atlantic Ocean, the large seaside resort of Royan was responsible for launching the fashion for sea bathing in the 19th-century. Largely destroyed during the Second World War the resort now boasts some daring post-war architecture, including the Notre-Dame church built in 1955.

The five beaches, sheltered from westerly breezes, provide an ideal environment for swimmers and anyone that enjoys building sand castles.

Cognac - The name Cognac is famous throughout the world, with the town of Cognac giving its name to the locally made brandy. For more than 400 years Cognac has been one of the main sources of wealth for the Poitou-Charentes region. Most of the leading producers give guided tours explaining the processes involved in making Cognac. Information about the tours is available from the Tourist Office in Cognac.

Angoulême -  An impressive cathedral city standing high above the river Charente, Angoulême is an ideal place for a walk followed by a meal in the pedestrianised streets within the walls of the upper town.
