Drive west towards the Atlantic coast and you'll reach the popular beaches at Royan and Île de Ré in approximately one hour via A837.

North along minor country roads awaits Marais Poitevin, the unique "green Venice" with its canals and lush marshes, in less than an hour's drive. The region is most beautiful during early summer and early autumn, when the vineyards glow green and tourist crowds are moderate.
