In Charentes, gourmets are in paradise with a rich and varied range of local products. The producers go out of their way to welcome you. You will not leave without having tasted or filled your basket with these succulent local products: cognac, pineau des Charentes and Charente wines, caramels, chocolates and homemade jams, caviar and snails, charcuterie, melons, goat’s cheese, mussels, Marennes-Oléron oysters, salt from the salt marshes… And for the curious gourmets, there is nothing like a gastronomic walk or an organised visit to local craftsmen and producers to discover the flavours and specialities of the Charentes.
