The population of Charente represents 1/5 of the Poitou-Charente population and has a density of 57 inhabitants per Km², similar to that of Vienne and Deux-Sèvres; only Charente Maritime reaches 81 inhabitants per Km², due primarily to the attraction of the coast and the islands.
On the North-South Atlantic axis, the N10 crosses the region through Châtellerault, Poitiers and Angoulême, with numerous 4-lane sections, the A 10 motorway goes through Poitiers, Niort and Saintes. |
