Visit Marennes with the family
With a coastline stretching for some 100km, the Pays Marennes-Oléron is an ideal holiday destination for all who appreciate the ocean beaches! Particularly sought-after by families, the large sandy beach at Marennes is lifeguarded in high season to ensure the safety of bathers of every age. And, just as a bonus, it also offers a fabulous panorama towards the Île d’Oléron!
All those who adore their board sports will be in heaven here on the Côte Sauvage. Head for La Palmyre-Les Mathes, where the dunes of soft fine sand separate the ocean from the luxuriant La Coubre forest. Our favourite corner? Bonne Anse bay, ideal for a gorgeous afternoon with the family!
Visit Marennes as a couple
Love a plump fresh oyster? Then you’ll be in for a treat! The Marennes-Oléron bay is quite simply the leading European centre for oyster-farming. This is where they raise the famous “Fines de Claire” with their characteristic blue-green colour. In Marennes the perfect opportunity awaits to sample oysters directly from the producers, in one of the colourful little huts that bring their own unique charm to the area. And to find out all you want to know about this expertise so typical of the Charente, visit the Cité de l’Huitre in the heart of the marshes.
Finally, make the most of your trip to Marennes to stop off to visit Fort Louvois, at the foot of the bridge leading to the Île d’Oléron. Dating from the 17th century, it has plenty of fascinating stories to tell!
