Chalais:
The main market town of the area (with a population of approximately 2000) benefiting from all services and facilities, Chalais is found in the south of the Charente in a particularly beautiful area with rolling countryside interspersed with woodland, vineyards and sunflowers in the summer season. It is situated at a 'cross-roads' of departments bordering the Charente-Maritime, the Dordogne and the Gironde. Chalais has kept many of its traditions including the Monday morning 'foire' (market) where you can find a huge range of local produce from cheese to locally produced pineau. Originally a principality, Chalais is also renowned for the Talleyrand-Perigord family, and is still dominated by the Chateau that overlooks the town.

Villebois-Lavalette:
On the edge of the Perigord, Villebois-Lavalette is an incredibly beautiful and charming village steeped in history and tradition. It sits on the top of a hill guarded by the very imposing medieval chateau. Situated just 20 km south east of Angouleme, Villebois-Lavalette is a dynamic town that is incredibly popular to both locals and tourists. It has a full range of services and facilities and every Saturday morning hosts the local farmers market under the eaves of the open market hall.
