The new website, part of the GUIDE2 global network, does all the legwork to bring visitors up to date news, events, properties for sale, accommodation, business directory, classifieds, blog, and tourism all in one place.  This is no mean feat when you consider the size of the region and the diverse nature of the places to visit. Poitou Charentes is the sunniest region of the Atlantic coast, and Charente Maritime has some of the best beaches and resorts.  Combine that with the Marais Poitevin marshes of Deux Sevres, pretty villages and heritage in Vienne, and the lakes and vine-covered hills of Charente, and there really is something for everyone in this beautiful region.  According to Guide2PoitouCharentes.com director Richard Stewart, the site is unique in bringing together information from many different sources, and putting it in an easy to navigate and easy to digest format.  “We’re working to bring people the most relevant and factual information possible, whilst keeping the information concise.”  One of the key features of the new site is the vast library of information on the places in Poitou Charentes.  There are hundreds of meticulously researched guides which include pictures and factual information to help potential house buyers be more informed about the location of their potential property purchase, and new guides are being added all the time. Local people can sign-up to become a member for free, and this gives them the ability to post free classifieds, events and use the Blog section to share their experiences and views of life in Poitou Charentes.  “We want the blog area to bring together local English-speakers to share their unique insights into life in the region, and to comment on everything from news to politics, events or trivia” said Richard. The site launched 6 weeks ago, and the response has been terrific.  People like the contemporary, easy-to-use format of the site, and the fact that it captures relevant information for the whole region.
