Wildflowers to look out for in September: Squirting Cucumbers (be careful - they sting); ripe blackberries; several species of heather on the forest edges
Wildlife to look out for in September: really big hoverflies like Milesia crabriformis (rather uncommon, looks like a hornet) and big fat beeflies like Villa hottentotta; Convolvulus Hawkmoth (stunning in grey and pink).
Also worth looking out for in September: carpets of cyclamen under the trees in châteaux grounds.
This month, most of the supermarchés have their wine festivals, and the bernache comes in.
