CAMPING & HOLIDAY PARKS 2018


popular getaway. From a day out in the gorgeous port of La Rochelle and nearby Rochefort, where maritime history is writ large, to a spirited tour of one of the region's many Cognac houses, there is no shortage of things to do and places to explore. Kids will be wowed by the immersive 3D films, space- themed shows and rides at Futuroscope. For a more chilled-out break, go green in the tranquil Marais Poitevin, France's second largest wetland.


Limousin


The region's dozens of perfectly-preserved medieval towns and villages all merit at least a day trip. If you can't quite manage a whistle-stop tour of every last one, Solignac (don't miss its 12th-century church), Uzerche (famous for its turreted houses), Aubazine (home to the orphanage where Coco Chanel grew up), Turenne and Collonges-la-Rouge, are good places to start. Despite its relative isolation, there’s plenty of cultural


life to keep you occupied here. Limoges is world-famous as a centre for fine porcelain and enamelware. East of Limoges is Aubusson, home for the last 500


years to some of the country's most famous tapestry – and carpet – producers. But to find the real soul of Limousin, you need to


venture out of its towns (since they’re so small, that doesn’t take long) and into the countryside… ■
