Planning a holiday to France and wanting to make the most of the time? Then you couldn't do much better than turning to the Hachette Vacances Series. Having bought the Poitou Charentes & the Vendee edition one weekend I was so impressed with the compact size, content and lay-out of this helpful book that I then bought the one on Brittany from Amazon!
The series written by French nationals splits for example the Charentes region into districts such as Rochefort with a "Spotcheck" section listing "Things to do," "Things to do with Children" and "Within Easy Reach" and it also offers telephone numbers for attractions, tourist office etc. They identify things to do for all the family highlighting not only the cultural highlights but also lots of attractions that should ensure the younger members of your party can have a great time. In addition there are short sections on the geography, history, sports, and suggested walks within the region.
The guide includes suggestions for a long weekend, a week or even longer in each area which could be very useful to someone planning a trip to an area, but uncertain where to go.
All in all the contents of these helpful, very readable books should ensure that you make the most of your brief or longer holiday to the region by ensuring you are informed about the places to visit before you arrive.

A must for any one traveling in the Charantes region, what this book misses is not worth seeing.Packed full of useful information and the tours are not over long so you do not have to miss a thing.This book is well laid out,a pleasure to read and use as are the rest in this series.So if you are off to France this year pack one of these books and get the most out of your visit.

We work in tourism in the Poitou Charentes and supply this book to our guests. Though somewhat lacking in detail, the overview and presentation are 1st class.
An excellent partner to this book is Angela Bird's "The Vendee" which has recently gone into a new edition. This adds some real flesh to the bones in terms of detail but is more geographically specific.
