Tania SIMPSON's selection of French property for sale

About my area

Charente Maritime is one of the most affordable coastal areas of France, with so much to offer. Its deep blue skies, rolling countryside and a soft, golden light have been the inspiration of many artists and photographers alike. Compared to Provence and neighbouring Dordogne it is still relatively undiscovered. Easily accessible in 2 hours from Paris by train, with a choice of airports between, La Rochelle, Bordeaux and Poitiers. The cultural heritage of the area includes extensive Roman ruins at Saintes, cobble-stoned alleys of medieval Jonzac and unassuming hamlets with 12thC Romanesque churches. Every village has a busy local market and there is always a bargain to be found at the brocantes. The wild dunes of the Cote Sauvage are known to surfers and nature lovers alike and there a beautiful coves and grottos heading down the estuary past the Medoc to Bordeaux.
