Glenn, it's a pretty large region, about half the size of Wales.

It has four regions within, each with its own principal capital - from memory 2 are La Rochelle on the coast, and Poitiers about 70 miles further inland.

I can try and help with some translations, but it's a few years since I spoke French properly. Mail me on RUSS at VWDRC dot COM, or get my number off Martin.
