Climate

Paris, France

Poitou-charentes benefits from 2,400 sunshine hours a year and is the hottest and sunniest place of the whole Atlantic coast. However, there is a difference between the littoral with its warm and gentle weather and the hinterland of Poitou-Charentes where the climate is more continental, so either dryer or damper than on the coasts.
