サンパレシュルメールのおすすめライド

オートゥール井戸は、サン＝パレ＝シュル＝メールの北にあるオートゥール井戸に位置する象徴的な自然の場所です。その名前はしばしば興味をそそり、その歴史は地質学、地元の伝統、そして海洋観測を組み合わせています。 🌊 起源と形成 オートゥール井戸は、人間が掘った井戸ではなく、自然の形成物です。 これは、海洋浸食によって石灰岩に掘られた空洞です。 波と浸水の作用により、岩石は徐々に崩壊し、海に向かって開いた垂直の縦穴のようなものを形成しました。 荒波や満潮時には、水が激しく流れ込み、劇的な渦を発生させます。 📜 名前の由来 「オートゥール」という言葉は、おそらく古フランス語または地元の俗語に由来しています。 「高さ」または「別」を意味する言葉に由来し、高い場所や孤立した場所を示唆している可能性があります。 別の仮説では、自然の空洞または開口部に関連する古い言葉の変形が示唆されています。 完全に確実な起源は正式に確立されておらず、それがこの場所の神秘性を増しています。 ⚓ 地元の歴史的な役割 この場所は、時間の経過とともにいくつかの用途または機能を持っていました。 👀 観察地点 岩場の断崖の上に位置し、海を監視するための自然の観察地点として機能していました。 住民や漁師は、船、嵐、危険を検知することができました。 🎣 漁業活動 ロワイヤン海岸の他の場所、特に有名なカレレット（網干場）の近くと同様に、この地域は漁師に利用されていました。 井戸の周りの岩は、岸釣りや釣り竿を使った釣りを可能にしました。 🌿 注目すべき自然の場所 今日、オートゥール井戸は主に以下の場所です。 海岸沿いの小道に沿った人気の散策場所。 景観および地質学的な関心のために指定された場所。 大西洋の素晴らしい眺め、特に日没時には。 ⚠️ 注意 この場所は壊れやすく、潜在的に危険なままです。 不安定な崖 嵐の際の強力な波 舗装された小道にとどまることをお勧めします。

Exceptional view, the most beautiful village in France.

Here you'll find a romantic little lighthouse, and behind it lies a garden with a bench overlooking the sea, a lovely place to stop for a break. Afterwards, you can continue along the cliff to the right until you reach Euro Velo 1 again.

Perfect beachside bike trail along the boulevard, with several rest stops with seating and beach acces.

The port of Royan is located between the Foncillon district and the Grande Conche beach, in the heart of the city. Ideally located at the mouth of the Gironde, in the immediate vicinity of the Atlantic Ocean and opposite Port-Médoc, it consists of a marina with a thousand rings and a fishing port, specializing in “noble” species (sole, meagre, sea bass, etc.). You will find the harbor master's office, the Fishing Port and the auction, as well as a covered shopping arcade, “Les voûtes du Port”, which extends the shopping arcades of the “Front de Mer”. Port, 1100 sheltered places – Reception pontoon – Secure pontoons. Access pass is 0.30 m above the zero of the nautical charts. Basins after dredging 2.30 m from the zero of the nautical charts. Services: water, electricity (220 V) on pontoon, toilets, WC, showers, handling in closed technical area, recovery of careening water, grey water and black water pumps, maintenance and ship repair workshops, ship chandlers on the port, wifi, 24/24 CB fuel, slipway.

Chaillevette, from the Saintongeais "Chaille" which means "pebble" is a small town in Charente Maritime with 1620 inhabitants, on the Arvert Peninsula. Nestled on the left bank of the Seudre, in a setting of salt marshes, punctuated by "claires" where oysters are refined. The refinement gives them this blue-green color and this typical iodized flavor. Oyster farming by oyster farmers is an essential resource for maintaining two pretty ports: The port of Chatressac, (which almost entered history in the 17th century, having been considered for a time to accommodate the Grand arsenal maritime du Ponant wanted by Louis XIV, which was finally built further north and gave birth to the city of Rochefort), and the port of Chaillevettte. Typical with their oyster huts in various and shimmering colors, bordering the channel and welcoming barges, these two ports have managed to preserve their picturesque character. However, you can enjoy local products in the "tasting huts" and especially the oysters that make our town famous as the "cradle of the oyster". Each of these ports is animated each year by the July 14 festival in Chatressac and the August 15 festival in Chaillevette. In the Chaillevetonne countryside, the cultivation of cereals such as wheat or corn finds its place, without forgetting the vines, which will be used to produce, among other things, the Charente country wine, pineau and cognac.

On the beach of Royan (20,000 inhabitants). This is where the boat that takes you across the Gironde docks/departs.

The Terre-Nègre lighthouse is a landmark forming a cylindrical tower a little over 26 meters high. Located on the tip of Terre-Nègre, in the commune of Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, in Charente-Maritime, it is intended to mark the southern pass of the Gironde estuary and to signal the presence of a dangerous sandbank, the "Anglais bar". This building forms a tower-column 3.16 meters in diameter and 26.60 meters high. A spiral staircase with a central core of 143 steps leads to a summit platform equipped with a directional light. The tower is painted in two different colors to make it more visible: the upper part is red, the lower part is white. The base of the lighthouse is hidden by a building that once served as the keeper's accommodation. The installation of a beacon at this location was considered as early as 1763. De Kearney took over the beaconing plan four years later. Construction work on the tower began in 1770 and was completed in 1773, probably under the supervision of the Bordeaux engineer Claude Tardy. In 1807, the tower was raised. However, this work was considered insufficient by some of the estuary's navigators. In 1834, sailors from the nearby port of Royan sent a request to the Ministry of the Navy to study the possibility of equipping the tower with a light. However, this request was postponed the following year due to lack of sufficient funds. A new request from sailors prompted the lighthouse commission to experiment with a first light in 1836. Finally, on October 15, 1838, a fixed white 4th order light was permanently installed. The latter was replaced in 1856 by a fixed white light of the 4th order of a small dioptric model with a reinforced sector of the 5th order catoptric. It was equipped with new lights in 1899 and 1904. In 1939, it was electrified. During the German occupation, the lighthouse served as an observatory for the soldiers of the Wehrmacht. Damaged during the fighting of 1945 (presence of breaches at the top of the tower), it was restored in the immediate post-war period. In March 1947, the lighthouse was operational again. A light with 3 occultations — changing every 12 seconds — was installed. Its colors are white, red and green. Its current range is 18 miles. Listed as a Historic Monument since 2011, the lighthouse is not open to visitors. However, it can be admired from the outside and a pretty passage provides direct access to the coastal path.
