 | | Virtually slap in the middle of the Haute Saintonge, and capital of it, Jonzac is a lucky town, with a generous share of the charms described at left. |
 | | So popular has it proved, with patients referred here but also with health tourists, that a major new hotel complex with a casino is being built to cater for the demand. |
 | | There are plenty of other attractions for holiday makers with the guinguette-like pleasures of afternoons spent lazing, swimming, snacking and fishing in and around the lake outside the spa, the picturesque streets of Jonzac, with its refurbished Eiffel-style covered market, XVIc cloister, magnificent castle, archæology museum, dynamic tourist office and busy cultural programme. |
