Water tours and activities Charente-Maritime

In order to break the intimacy of the Poitevin Marsh, from the bay of the Stimulus to the tapis of its interlaced canals, there is only one imperative: drop the car, its polluting exhaust pot and its vrombissant engine. It's not velvet that you have to penetrate its lush vegetation, sliding on the water or pressing on the pedals. Different formulas for renting bicycles, canoes or boats (with or without ferry boats) are offered, with circuits from 1 h to 3 h (from 2 days to week for canoeing rides). Circuits specially developed for the Works Councils are organised by year upon reservation: «Les Rally en Boats», which combines cycling, walking and boat rides with the possibility of barbecue on-site for lunch.

Located in the heart of La Rochelle, the Régie des Transports Communautaire Iso (RTCR) is the place to go to buy bus cards, packages or opt for a subscription. If you wish to visit Châtelaillon-beach, Salles-sur-mer, Marsilly or head to one of the Iso districts, you can buy a valid transport ticket for 60 minutes or opt for a 10-minute pass. Different formulas allow you to take advantage of the year-round transport (youth subscription - 26 years, school, summer). In the summer, thanks to the specially equipped bike bus, you will have no trouble passing the bridge peacefully on the bus. The RTCR also offers a minibus service and taxi for people with reduced mobility. The taxi is equipped to accommodate 1 wheelchair and 4 accompanying and is available daily, 24 hours a day (minimum reservation 1 hour in advance). The minibus must be reserved at least 24 hours in advance and it is insured 7 j/7 from 7 h to 19 h. (Information from GIHP, tel. 05 46 43 44 60).
