Poitou-Charentes

The region of Poitou Charentes sits on the western edge of France along the Bay of Biscay. This coastal area is known for being home to lovely seaside resorts, and is also known as cognac country. La Rochelle and Ile de Re are the most popular destinations in the region and have a lot to offer visitors. La Rochelle’s old port area and quay date back to medieval times and are perfect for a romantic moonlit stroll. The scenic island of Ile de Re is accessible from La Rochelle via a toll bridge. The island is full of beautiful beaches and is a popular retreat for holiday makers.

The La Rochelle area is a lively place during the day and night. There is a casino located just outside the city’s historic port. Casino Barriere de la Rochelle provides a lovely restaurant and bar in addition to 140 gaming machines and live table games featuring English Roulette, Blackjack and Boule. Poker tournaments are also regularly held here and the casino is open well into the night. Coastal towns south of Rochelle are also popular with beach tourists and have their own casinos. Casino Barriere de Royan is the most notable and sits right on the beach. In order to enter a casino in France, you must have a valid ID and be at least 18 years of age. Thanks to the region’s holiday atmosphere, casual dress is permitted.
