THE SMUGGLER SHIP
Read moreOn holiday, you don't have to use the car every day! The Petit Futé offers you an original way: the ferry boat. Embark on the Vauban to get from Bourcefranc-le-Chapus to Oléron Castle and discover the historic capital of the island and its citadel. Be careful, however, at the time of return, some have already been stuck on the island! To go to Marennes, borrow the Balusot for a 10-minute crossing. It is a good opportunity for cycling, along the channel and ostresiastic huts and visiting the oyster city. Boats do not sail every day and the agenda depends on tides. It is best to call or get the schedules at the Tourist Office.
PORT DE PLAISANCE
Read moreLocated at the mouth of the Gironde, Royan's marina is well known to sailors for its position in the heart of the town. Sheltered from the wind and protected by the ferry landing stage, it is one of the major ports on the Atlantic seaboard. Once moored, sailors can stroll under the port's arches or head for the nearby town center. There are plenty of things to do: discover the church, stroll through the shopping streets or sit on the terrace of a restaurant.
