If the mainland's glorious beaches are not secluded enough for you then one of Charente Maritime's three islands may suit you better. The biggest island Re, is encircled by sandy beaches and great for a relaxing break. The other islands are Orleron - a fortress from the 19th century, while the smallest of them all Aix, can only be reached by boat and has no cars; on the island one really does feel a million miles from the mainland. Property is fast increasing in price as the department gets more popular. The most desireable and pricey locations include La Rochelle and Ile d' Re, but the financial return can be great in such locations as the rental market is very active. Inland property is more affordable and there are still a great number of renovation opportunities to be found. Whether you want a holiday cottage to rent out or simply as a second home there are many on the market. Overall, the Charente Maritime property market is very reasonable considering that it is prime coastal location. This coastal department has of course an abundance of locally caught fish and oysters and not only is it delicious and very fresh but very reasonaby priced. Visiors to the Charente Maritime are spoilt for choice with seafood restaurants.
