The multi-media experiences of Futuroscope pull in visitors from all over Europe, but Poitou-Charentes offers a host of other familyfriendly attractions, many of which feature animals.

Life in Poitou-Charentes has always been heavily influenced by the sea, whether for fishing or trade, defence or recreation. But the mineral-rich waters of the Atlantic can also be beneficial to mind and body through thalassotherapy–a range of medically-proven treatments that harness the therapeutic and relaxing effects of seawater and marine minerals.

If you enjoy getting out on a bike, but don’t enjoy battling against the British traffic, you’ll find cycling in Poitou-Charentes a refreshing change with quiet country roads and a wealth of dedicated cycle tracks. The gently undulating countryside makes for interesting, easy cycling, and there are more than 1000 km of bike paths to explore as well as endless quiet, safe roads.

Green and lush for most of the year, thanks to its temperate climate and proximity to the sea, Poitou-Charentes is a region area where nature is always on your doorstep. There are no mountains here or rugged hills, but the countryside is easily accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability and fitness.
