"The history of
Poitou-Charentes"
History
Poitou is a historic region in west central France.
Poitiers, the capital of the region, is its chief city, although the port of La Rochelle, capital of the province of Aunis, rivals it in economic importance.
Farming is important to the economy; wheat, corn and cattle are raised.
Industries produce machinery, chemicals and dairy products.
