10 minutes from La Rochelle and the Ile de Ré, at the gates of the Marais Poitevin, Esnandes has retained its authenticity as a Charente village by the sea.
On one side stands the astonishing 12th century fortified church and the charming Baie du Marais Poitevin museum which traces the history of the culture of the bouchot mussel.
On the other, at Pointe St Clément, extends the Baie de l'Aiguillon, a nature reserve for migratory birds. The lights are always changing and very often remarkable! The L.P.O regularly organizes discovery observations of this preserved ecosystem and its many birds. The carrelets, fishermen's huts on stilts, typical of this part of the Atlantic Coast, line the cliff. In Esnandes, the rental of a plaice is possible for half a day or for the day. (Information at the museum)
A coastal cycle path starts from the village and goes to Ile de Ré or La Rochelle, passing through picturesque seaside villages.
Esnandes also has a swimming pool, two restaurants by the sea, all local shops, a pharmacy and two doctors.
