On the Atlantic coast, between the châteaux of the Loire Valley and the Bordeaux vineyards, lies Poitou-Charentes, one of the sunniest parts of the French western coast. Its mild climate - 2,250 hours of sunshine per year - makes it desirable to visit anytime from early spring to late autumn. A 300-mile coastline with fine sandy beaches, backed by fragrant pine forests, and lively resorts such as La Rochelle provide attractions to tempt everyone. In addition to being a unique resort town, La Rochelle is also a major maritime port and commercial center. Culture and history is not forgotten of this town of fun, Musée du Nouveau Monde (the Museum of the New World) lures visitors in with its captivating art and uniquely French aura.
