The citadel of Château-d'Oléron is a military fortress

A must-see for anyone visiting the island of Oléron. Richelieu ordered its construction, which began in 1630 on the remains of the old medieval castle. The work was led by the engineer Pierre d'Argencourt, who ordered the first bastion, and Louis Nicolas de Clerville later modified and enlarged the structure. The citadel and the town were completed in 1700 under the orders of Vauban. During this final phase of construction, part of the old village was razed to make way for a new fortified town, built on a grid pattern around the parade ground. A fortress with a defensive function, the citadel also housed disciplinary bodies, civilian and religious inmates during the Reign of Terror, and political prisoners in 1870. On April 17, 1945, an aerial bombardment destroyed many parts of the citadel. From 1959 to 1970, an initial restoration began. The stronghold was restored from 1988.

The port of Douhet is essentially the mouth of the Douhet Canal. There are several nice restaurants nearby.

With a view of Fort Boyard.

A popular place for swimming, Plaisance Beach is also a good place to see the Île d'Aix and Fort Boyard. It is located at the western end of the Saumonards Forest, which offers a pleasant setting for cycling.

The marina of Saint-Denis-d'Oléron, located at the northern tip of the island of Oléron, is a charming maritime refuge, perfect for a stopover or a stroll. Bordered by lively quays and small typical houses, this port welcomes pleasure boats and sailboats in an authentic setting. The view of the ocean and the neighboring islands, as well as the proximity of the beaches and the Chassiron lighthouse, make it an ideal place to stroll or practice water sports.
