Fully Booked: European Heritage Days - Guided Tour of the Saint-Denis Battery
Dates & opening times
Description
The islands of the Pertuis Charentais—Ré and Oléron—were part of the “Atlantic Wall” military defense system
conceived by the Germans during World War II to counter a
possible Allied landing from the west.
Many of these remnants are still visible today, particularly along the Chemin d’Oléron,
even though erosion and climate change pose a serious threat to them.
The location of part of the Saint-Denis battery, which is incorporated into the municipal campground, has
allowed it to remain relatively well-preserved. The structures located on the beach were not so
fortunate, which is why we invite you to explore this still well-conserved complex through a guided tour.
(Maximum 30 people per tour—meet in front of the entrance to the Saint-Denis d’Oléron municipal campground).
Reservations by phone at 05 46 47 24 68 or via the online forms.
