How to save time booking a holiday rental in Charente Maritime

Charente Maritime, the coastal region ofPoitou Charentes,France, has 300 miles of beaches. As you would expect from this region of France, the seafood is sensational, especially the locally harvested oyster beds, and is best washed down with a selection from the cellars of the local vineyards. A Charente Maritime property or some of the gites in Charente Maritime on offer here provide a perfect base for not only discovering the coast and beaches, but for cycle tours walks in the region.

Within a convenient distance of the stunning Atlantic coastline of Poitou-Charentes, holiday apartments and villas in Charente Maritime are perfect for anyone with a love of the sea, although with such an abundance of spectacular countryside throughout the region, holiday rental accommodation in Charente Maritime will appeal to those who just want to be surrounded by any of the outstanding natural environments of Poitou-Charentes - holiday gites and farmhouse rentals in Charente Maritime providing an entirely appropriate setting for an authentic experience of rural life in a fabulous selection of the charming towns and villages in Charente Maritime.
