Marennes-Oléron is the ideal place to unwind and uplift your spirits. There are many ways to enjoy these peaceful and diverse surroundings.

You may choose to walk, cycle or ride a horse across Oléron island from the north to the south and from the east to the west. Discover forests, beaches, swamps.. or local heritage in the Marennes Basin.

Facing Fort Boyard there is a 9-hole golf course for those wanting to improve their swing and technique.

Numerous tennis courts can be found in Marennes-Oléron as well. And if you wish to indulge a little (or a lot!) you should head to the spa in Saint-Trojan-les-Bains.

Comments : Guylaine, Paris
" I have come to Oléron every year since 1967. I love the weather and the friendly atmosphere..."

Guylaine is a huge sports fan and she likes to keep fit !

" Here I enjoy cycling, hiking, aqua-fitness, tree climbing, kayaking and horse riding. My favourite cycling itinerary is: going through the typical small villages from the cycle tracks in Saint-Trojan to Boyardville, then onto Domino, La Cotinière..

I also recommend a day out kayaking on the channels, take a picnic with you ! "
