Talmont-sur-Gironde

Situated in the Charente Maritime department, this small town on a promontory overlooking the Gironde estuary was once a formidable stronghold.

On the edge of the cliff, the church of Sainte-Radegonde, built in the 12th century, overlooks the waves with its characteristic silhouette.

It has been awarded the label of the Most Beautiful Villages of France and the Small Cities of Character.
