The origines of many things

Poitou-Charentes is an administrative region in central western France comprising four departments: Charente, Charente-Maritime, Deux-Sèvres and Vienne. The regional capital is Poitiers.
Poitou is believed to be the region of origin of most of the Acadian and Cajun populations of North America (now found chiefly in New Brunswick and Louisiana, respectively). Their ancestors emigrated from the region in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Dry and hot summers apart from the welcome relief of the odd cooling thunderstorm, and the days are pleasantly warm as late as October.
