which seems to put it North of La Rochelle or Limoges, but South of Poitiers.... or something/somewhere around there...

Close.. If you drew a line from Cognac to St Jean d'Angely, it would be about 2/3 of the way along.

I know it's a HEAVY hint, but it's pretty obscure unless you know the area reasonably well

Isle of Wight, obviously. Haven't visited in 50 years, but possibly Cowes?

Where's this?
