A true French art of living, the aperitif symbolizes the shared pleasure at the end of the day. On the terrace, at the water's edge or in a park, zoom in on these places where it's good to meet up with friends.
Are you more of a... city dweller?
In Surgères, a famous Aunisian city renowned for its butter, immerse yourself in the heart of a remarkable historical heritage! Sip a drink on the terraces of the city center cafés to enjoy the breathtaking view of the castle grounds and stop by the covered market halls to feel the excitement of market days.
In Marans, an emblematic port town of the Marais Poitevin, let yourself be carried away by its very special maritime atmosphere! Stop your gaze on the astonishing bell tower of the Notre-Dame church which will attract your curiosity and go to the quays where you can enjoy a seafood platter while listening to the rigging of the sailboats rattling on the steel masts.
Are you more of a… country person?
Head to Lac de France! Located in the town of Aigrefeuille d'Aunis, this green setting has everything to please you. While the children tell jokes and have fun on the playground, relax by the water with your feet in the daisies and savor the moment.
