Eating Out

The Charente region is certainly most famous for the silky smooth spirit, cognac, but there are lots more local specialities to try. Of course there’s plenty of wine but did you know that there is also a delicious aperitif called Pineau? The fresh oysters of Marennes-Oléron in the Charente Maritime region are much sought after all over France and there are also langoustines, prawns and mussels caught in the sea and rivers and lakes. Other specialities you will find in the region include the black chicken of Barbezieux, the local Limousin Beef and delicious goats’ cheeses. We have a wide selection of local restaurants surrounding Camp Laurent where you can enjoy many of the local specilaities. The following 8 restaurants we can personally recommend are definately worth a visit and are all less than 25 minutes away from our site.
