Saint Aigulin - thriving and elegant
St Aigulin, which lies in the south of the Charente-Maritime department, close to the Dordogne border, is a thriving and elegant town despite its relatively small size. Set on the beautiful River Dronne, which has successfully formed a strong defensive barrier around the town for centuries, St Aigulin also enjoys the glorious backdrop of the Forêt de Double, the Double Forest, where legend has it that many who fled from the wars that ravaged the country in the Middle Ages later took refuge here.

Anyone for tennis?
