Located in the former province of Saintonge, in Charente-Maritime, the commune of La Vallée is located about fifty kilometers from La Rochelle, not far from Sainte-Radegonde, Cabariot or Saint-Hippolyte.
Of ancient origin, as evidenced by the numerous Neolithic stations found nearby, La Vallée has distinguished itself on several occasions in history, notably during the wars of religion or during the Fronde. In the second half of the 18th century, the town saw one of its castles also serve as a hospital for soldiers returning from the American War of Independence.
Today, it is mainly for its historical and architectural heritage that the city in western France is appreciated by visitors.
