Where in the Charente, if I may drift a bit?

My favorite wife is from the Charente-Maritime, près Niort, and is on her way there now for her mom's 90th birthday.

I've spent many happy hours in that area, inflicting those poor sufferers with my French, and drinking my father-in-laws excellent wines. My wife says I speak French like I was born in Houston.

Her house was in a hamlet called La Pouillerie, near the town of Roumaziere, which is NE of Angouleme.
