Eating out in French restaurants
It almost goes without saying that one of the attractions of coming on holiday to France is the food. In particular, eating out in a restaurant or brasserie is one of the great pleasures of French life. So you will be relieved to read that the Poitou-Charentes is no exception when it comes to good restaurants. It’s a large region in which you can find just about all kinds of eating-place, from the most simple rustic auberge to Michelin-starred restaurants. In restaurants along the Poitou-Charentes coast – in towns such as Royan and La Rochelle - you’ll find many excellent seafood dishes. Oysters, lobster, shrimp, crayfish, fish, mussels – the French just love their seafood.
