Chenal du Douhet

Highlight • Other

The Chenal du Douhet is a picturesque site located on the island of Oléron, between the towns of Saint-Georges d'Oléron and La Brée-les-Bains. Here are some interesting points about it:

1. **Pleisure port**: The port of Douhet is a lively place, especially in summer, with a capacity of around 350 boats. It is equipped with all the amenities necessary for boaters, including a modern harbor master's office.

2. **History**: The channel and port were developed in the 1840s to facilitate commercial salt and wine traffic. Today they are mainly used for pleasure.

3. **Activities**: The site is ideal for bike rides, with cycle paths running along the channel. You will also find restaurants and bars nearby, making it a nice place to relax after a day of sailing or walking.

A Beach of Cairns

Highlight • Beach

As you head towards the Chassiron Lighthouse, you will discover a unique and peaceful sight: a beach of cairns, or piles of stones, that have been carefully constructed by visitors and locals. This area offers a quiet place to stop and reflect, with the rhythmic sound of the ocean in the background.

Nice single track along the ocean!
Climb up to the lighthouse via the cycle path and descend along the ocean via this small path! Or the opposite :)
