Top 3 things to do in Marennes Oléron

Located opposite the Ile d'Oléron, the town of Marennes and its basin are a great alternative for discovering the Charente Maritime region. Whether you're looking for a few days' getaway or a 2-week stay, Marennes is packed with local experiences to please everyone!

Take a boat trip to discover the Marennes coastline! We recommend exploring Fort Boyard and the charming Ile d'Aix from Fouras.

Made famous by the TV show, Fort Boyard is sure to delight young and old alike! Visited by boat (the interior is inaccessible to the public), you'll discover a place steeped in history, guaranteed to put stars in children's eyes.

A stopover on the island of Aix is also ideal for a peaceful stroll in the heart of nature. Learn more about the island's speciality, mother-of-pearl, and take a stroll on a car-free island! A real breath of fresh air!

Eat local with Matthieu! Ideal for discovering oyster farming and tasting local produce.

Marennes oysters, the jewels of French gastronomy, are a typical and emblematic product of the Marennes-Oléron region on the Atlantic coast. Their reputation rests on their delicate flavor and subtle saltiness, the result of the influence of the region's marine waters and oyster basins. These oysters are carefully raised in oyster beds, where they benefit from ideal conditions to develop their unique character. They are appreciated by seasoned oyster lovers and novices alike, making Marennes an unmissable destination for seafood lovers in search of an authentic culinary experience. Let yourself be tempted by Matthieu's seafood platters, delivered directly to the Marennes Oléron campsite.

In the mood for sport? Take advantage of our ideal location for cycling and discover the many cycle paths between the pines and the seaside! What's more? We can arrange for bikes to be delivered from the village.

The cycle paths around Slow Village Marennes Oléron offer an exceptional cycling experience in the heart of the unspoilt nature of the wild coast.
