"The region of Poitou-Charentes has beautiful landscapes and coastlines, great for those looking for a relaxing break coupled with picturesque scenery, it’s also a region boasting little vineyards, so this is the place to be if you love wine! Ile de Re is a pretty destination and my favourite view of the island is from St Martin’s church, I would also recommend going for a picnic like the French locals on one of the beaches, either La Couarde or Le Bois Plage en Re."
