Camping in Charente, France and caravanning in Charente, France has never been easier.

 Camping in Charente :  

Camping in Charente offers peaceful camping devotees a blend of ochre-coloured farms crowning valley slopes with green trusses of vineyard sweeping up to the walls and the graceful turrets of minor chateaux (owned by wealthy cognac producers) peek out from the woods. 

 Sample the Peneau des Charentes, a sweet liqueur that blends grape juice stopped in its fermentation by adding cognac from the same vineyard.  Locals enjoy this chilled as an aperitif with oysters.  Enjoy cuisine such as moules au Pineau (mussels cooked with tomatores, Pineau, garlic and parsley) and lapin a la sain tongeaise (rabbit casseroled with Pineau rose, shallots, garlic, tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves).

 Some of the highlights include Saintes a busy market town which retains some impressive remains as well as two admirable Romanesque pilgrim churches, narrow lanes and medieval houses.  Cognac will no doubt inform travellers of its quintessential air as you stroll about the medieval lanes of the town’s riverside quarter where the high-quality brandy is matured. 

  Charente offers the camping traveller architectural charm and peaceful atmosphere.
