15 km south of Royan, on a rocky promontory overlooking the Gironde estuary, Talmont has kept its original plan of a country house, built in 1284 by Edward I of Aquitaine. Dominating the village, the magnificent Sainte-Radegonde church, symbol of the Poitou-Charentes region, is still fortified with ramparts. In the village, houses with white facades and blue shutters are revealed behind hollyhocks.
