Details
Discover the charm of the Île d'Oléron with our round-trip ferry from La Rochelle, which promises you an unforgettable day! After embarking at the foot of La Rochelle's famous towers, you will have the chance to see the port of Les Minimes, the Bout du Monde lighthouse and, if you take a close look, the islands of Ré and Aix. Then, after 1 hour, you will disembark in Saint-Denis-d'Oléron, in the north of the island.
Now it is up to you to explore the island of Oléron to your heart's content! In Saint-Denis, be sure to visit the charming Chassiron lighthouse or tour the town on the tourist train. You can also hire bikes to explore the island's beaches, forests and salt marshes: 150km of cycle paths await you! Oléron is also home to farmers' markets, numerous coastal paths and, of course, many restaurants where you can sample the local specialities: whatever your wishes, there is something for everyone! At the end of the day, you will board in Saint-Denis-d'Oléron and return to La Rochelle after a 1-hour crossing.Highlights
