The carrelets are fishermen's huts built on stilts. The maritime setting is fantastic, with a panoramic view of the sea as far as the eye can see, and the Aiguillon Bay National Nature Reserve.

Esnandes is a charming seaside village. Here, one does not only find the impressive historic medieval architecture, but also pure nature as the town borders the National Nature Reserve of the Baie de l'Aiguillon and is located in the Regional Natural Park of the Marais poitevin.

A quiet cycle path that avoids the main road. You can follow the train through the woods, over the fields and then up to the coast and the cliffs.

A small stopover is worthwhile here.

Good bike path towards La Rochelle.

Small path to avoid the road.

Great hidden local bike trail gradually going through the fields to the edge of the cliffs, pleasant alternative to avoid the road.

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.
