Ride the friendly waves No less than 450 kilometers of coastline wend their way
down the Charente seashore. Between high and low seas, the long sandy beaches
bordered by pine trees alternate with chalky cliffs and wild sites. The Atlantic
seaboard of the Poitou-Charentes region is protected by four islands, of which
the two largest, Ol ron (175 km2) and R (85 Km2) are connected to the continent
by bridges. The mild climate and the beautifully preserved environment render
these appends of earth near the land mass akin to paradise.
