Take a punt (and a picnic)out on the Marais-Poitevin- a beautiful area with a maze of waterways.Many of the magnificent chateaux of the Loire Valley can be seen in a day trip.The lovely, historic towns of Saumur and Thouars are within 1 hour drive as are the Theme Parks of Futuroscope and Puy du Fou. The Valley of Apes (Valle des Singes), where the apes wander free amongst the guests, is a great day out, for adults and children alike. A visit to La Rochelle is a must for its beaches, old harbour and excellent places to eat and drink, with street entertainers on summer nights. Visit Cognac, tour the distilleries and take a trip on the river.The ancient town of Saintes provides an interesting day out. Mervent provides opportunities for lots of outdoor activities including kayaking and canoeing on the large lake.The pretty village of Vouvant nearby is worth a stop on the journey home.
