Departing from the port of Boyardville, go by boat to discover the Ile d'Aix and La Rochelle, then crossing the salt marshes, stop at the church of St Georges d'Oléron and climb the 224 steps of the Chassiron lighthouse. Discover the cotinière fishing port with its multicolored boats and the fish market. Finally, visit the forest and the town of St Trojan les Bains thanks to the little tourist train and take a short detour to the Port des Salines.

Fishing on foot


Practice one of the island's flagship activities: fishing on foot. From the port of Château-d'Oléron, via the coastal path, you can practice fishing on foot (boots essential). You can fish: cockles, clams, mussels, periwinkles, shrimp, etc.

Here are some tips: each stone turned over must be put back in place otherwise the microfauna will disappear, do not plow the soil, the algae must be picked carefully (do not tear them up ), check tide times and coefficients, adapt your equipment to the weather conditions, do not leave alone or warn those around you and fish according to your needs.

Please note, certain areas are classified as "nature reserves" and fishing is prohibited there. Do not hesitate to inquire at the reception of your campsite on the island of Oléron before setting off on an adventure.
