Description
The Chantier naval Robert Léglise - Patrimoine Maritime Oléronais association was founded in 1995. Thanks to the association, the century-old shipyard in the port of Château d'Oléron has been saved and rehabilitated, and many of the island's traditional boats are beginning to enjoy a second life.
This is a fascinating world, brought back to life by tools, photos, plans, templates and the ancestral skills of marine carpenters, which you can discover here.
Open to groups by prior arrangement, subject to availability.
