For buying and selling property in St-Maixent-L'École
The market town of St-Maixent-L'École, in the Deux-Sèvres department of Poitou-Charentes in western France, is a lovely old town. It is situated in the rural heart of the Deux-Sèvres, surrounded by beautiful countryside but also not far from the Atlantic coast.
In St-Maixent farming is a way of life for the local population, so not surprisingly, the town has an excellent thriving Farmer's Market. This is popular with both locals who want to buy the best of fresh local produce, and with tourists who enjoy it for its colour and vibrancy.
The town has its origins way back in the fifth century, but most of the existing architecture in St-Maixent today is fifteenth to early nineteenth century. A high point of the town… literally… is the beautiful Abbey, which looks down on the town and draws the eye towards St-Maixent from quite a distance. St-Maixent has a military academy, and there is also a military museum to visit.
Small and rural it may be, but there is no doubting that St-Maixent has a superb choice of restaurants to offer its residents and visitors. Local specialties to try include goats' cheeses, which are said to be some of the tastiest in France.

The countryside of the Deux-Sèvres is peaceful and beautiful with lakes for water sports and fishing, lanes and tracks for horse-riding and cycling, excellent hiking, and golf too, for those who can't imagine a good time without a golf course nearby!
