Dirac

Dirac is situated approximately 250 miles (402 kilometers) south of the national capital Paris.

Dirac isn't the only place in Poitou-Charentes worth experiencing; visitors with plenty of time can also take a day trip or two to experience the special qualities of the surrounding countryside, cities and towns. Two examples of places within a relatively short distance of Dirac are Foussignac, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the east, and Gondeville, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the east.

Approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) to the northwest of Dirac is Angouleme, a regional city where you'll find Musee du Papier, Hirondelle Golf and Angouleme Hotel de Ville. Angouleme Cathedral and Museum of Comics a few of the other places worth checking out for those who have more time on their hands.

Poitou-Charentes offers visitors some wonderful churches and other holy sites, ideal places to experience the region's spiritual heart. If you have great weather, head outdoors to explore Poitou-Charentes' open-air markets.

Why don't you take advantage of a good local guide and sign on for a specialised tour? Cycling tours, city walking tours and winery tours are popular here.

You'll be reluctant to say "Au revoir / À bientôt" (farewell) to this interesting spot.
