Surgeres

Surgeres is a town to the south-east of La Rochelle, in the Poitou-Charentes region of western France.

A quiet town, Surgeres has an open central square and a couple of streets with all the usual 'small town' shops - bakers, butchers etc and a couple of cafes..

But it is the section of the town a couple of hundred metres to the south that will interest visitors.

Behind the old fortified wall of the castle there is an attractive 'garden park' area, and a collection of interesting buildings in the park.

These include a Roman style church with a decorated facade; a monumental gateway; a manor house, and a stone tower, along with parts of the original castle ramparts.

There is also a carefully planted walled garden, and a large area of more open parkland which is ideal for a picnic.
