 THE AREA
Juif is a small rural farming hamlet set amid the gentle downlands of grapevines, wheat and sunflowers. The area enjoys the advantage of a semi mediterranean climate with temperatures generally in the high 90's during the summer, thus giving it a special appeal to sun lovers. Spring and Autumn are equally wonderful months for those who prefer a slightly milder climate.
The beautiful River Charente, which gives the area its name, links Angouleme - a walled hilltop city with its cathedral, quaint cafes, shops and restaurants in its narrow medieval streets - with the Atlantic coast. On its way it passes through beautiful long-forgotten towns and villages far from the madding crowd. Through Jarnac, the birthplace of ex-president Mitterand, Cognac with its famous distilleries and then onto the ancient roman town of Saintes where Richard the Lionheart began his famous crusades.
If you love fresh seafood, head towards the coast and to the historic fortified town of La Rochelle (1 1/4 hours) where you can linger in the quayside restaurant watching the pleasurecraft and fishing boats as you enjoy your meal. Alternatively, visit France's second largest island, the Isle d'Orleron, or take a trip round the famous 'Fort Boyard'.
For the children, both yound and old, take a trip to the zoo at La Palmyre, the beach at Royan (1 1/4 hour) or the valley of the monkeys at Romagne - where they can watch and feed the monkeys in a natural cageless environment. Alternatively, discover the pleasure of getting lost in the spectacular maze at Cravans, exploring the Chateau des enigmes at Usse, or the Futuroscope theme park at Poitiers (1 1/4 hour).
Located in the Charente, Juif is located just off the D739 which links Matha with the small market town of Aigre just five minutes drive away. Aigre has shops of all kinds ranging from a tourist information office, two small supermarkets, bars, restaurants, banks and open markets in the square every Thursday and Sunday. Fresh oysters and mussels are sold in the square almost every day.
The local markets are fascinating and you will have lots of opportunities to browse amongst stalls of bygone days as well as the locally produced fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese and fish that the area is famous for. Look out for the monthly market at nearby Rouillac, one of the largest street markets in France and the special seasonal markets for wines etc.
For those wishing to stay at Le Grand Juif and simply laze by the pool, a baker's van passes by six days a week, selling bread and a small range of cakes and sweets.
Historical sites such as churches and romanesque ruins abound and for those wishing a more active holiday, there are ample opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing, swimming, tennis, birdwatching, canoeing or horse riding.
