La Rochefoucauld Vacations

Paris, the capital of France, is 230 miles (370 kilometers) north of La Rochefoucauld.

Discover the attractions in the area. The the Chateau de la Rochefoucauld is one of these.

Staying in only one place, regardless of its popularity, usually only offers you a narrow window into the broader personality of a region. So be sure to explore Poitou-Charentes' other attractions. You may also wish to check out Chabanais, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the southwest, and Roullet-Saint-Estephe 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the northeast.

Around 13 miles (21 kilometers) to the southwest of La Rochefoucauld is Angouleme, an important regional center where you'll find Hirondelle Golf, Museum of Comics and Musee du Papier. Angouleme has much of interest for visitors willing to stay for a day or two. Angouleme Cathedral and Angouleme Hotel de Ville are some of the other points of interest not to miss.

Visitors with an interest in history will enjoy exploring the area's fascinating old towns, fortresses and ruins. Poitou-Charentes is graced with some important churches and other places of worship, ideal places to get a taste of the region's spiritual side.

For those who feel it's important to pick up knowledge as well as souvenirs while on vacation, this region has plenty of specialist tours, including city walking tours, cycling tours and winery tours.

At the end of your vacation, say a fond Au revoir / À bientôt (farewell) to the characters you have met and the places you've seen.
