Description

As you follow the Château-d'Oléron heritage trail, you'll discover a wealth of attractions in the heart of the historic district and its picturesque streets.

Then, as you pass through the ramparts of the fortified town, you'll discover the impressive citadel, whose fortifications were completed under Vauban's orders in 1700.

The tour continues to the oyster port, where oyster farmers and artists rub shoulders. Some thirty artists and craftsmen welcome you to the heart of the old town, on the oyster-farming site in the citadel of Château d'Oléron. These workshops are open all year round, providing a permanent hub of artistic and tourist activity.

Feel free to stroll along the channels - where the barges loaded with oyster bags still circulate - and push open the doors of the workshops. You'll discover unique worlds!

A trail accessible to all.
