Charente-Maritime: discovering the island of Oléron

The 1 p.m. news on December 29 takes you to discover the island of Oléron in Charente-Maritime, and its essential places to visit.

Oléron, the island of all tastings. Fisherman's island with infinitely wild beaches. To reach Oléron, simply take the bridge. Very quickly, the famous oyster cabins appeared. Oléron is also the kingdom of fishing on foot. At low tide, Raphaël fills his basket with sea urchins, a regulated fishery. Others begin to find Chinese hats and curry combs.

Seafood products can also be seen at the port of Cotinière, the largest artisanal fishing port in New Aquitaine. The arrival of boats and unloading always arouses curiosity. You can even attend the auction reserved for professionals.

Last essential visit to the north of the island, the Chassiron lighthouse. The view from 40 m high is worth it. You have to climb 249 steps, but on arrival, the effect is guaranteed. And then there is the sunset on the beach, a moment that is well worth taking souvenir photos.
