The proximity of the sea gives the Saintonge a gentle climate throughout the year. Be aware that it changes as one moves inland. We are here to help you should you be interested in property either to live in, as we do, or simply for leisure time. Since our arrival in 1993 there has been a slow change, but the Charente Maritime remains one of the most pleasurable places to live, or just to visit. It is a region rich in history, as are most parts of France, and many properties have played their part......even the more modest paysan's home has often had an interesting past. They usually have the remnants of a culture brought by the Romans which continues to shape the landscape, and give an income to the folk who tend the vines. The sea and its rich harvest also influences the communities nearer the coast and also along the estuary of the Gironde, with light and colour, the result of the combination of land and sea, making the Charente-Maritime a place to relish your quality of life. We are here to help find the property, and with the procedure of purchase from the Compromis to the Acte, with finance for your projects, help with locating good local artisans, or simply with friendly advice. It adds nothing to the cost of the home you choose, but you may benefit from our experience. |
