A seaside resort since 1898
Highlight • Other
Nature and well-being characterize this village, classified as a seaside resort since 1898.
Its small, typical houses in the town center, with their winding streets and narrow passages, take us back to the hard life of fishermen; its waterfront, which recalls its old-world charm; its Belle Epoque villas still bear witness to the beginnings of vacation resorts and the first sea bathing.
But Saint-Trojan-les-Bains is also a setting where flora and fauna are abundant. On foot, by bike, or by little train, you can explore its national forest.
Its location at the southern tip of the island of Oléron, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Coureau d'Oléron, is protected from storms by a magnificent 2,000-hectare forest that can be explored on foot, by bike, or by miniature train. It also offers visitors a wide variety of beaches:
La Petite Plage: Sheltered on the coast along the Coureau, lined with Belle Epoque villas, this beach is frequented by regulars who come together for the charm and tranquility of its sheltered setting. Nearby, the Coureau d'Oléron Water Sports Center (CNCO) offers numerous water activities for all ages. A ferry also provides a crossing between Saint-Trojan and La Tremblade.
La Plage du Soleil: Located along the Manson promenade, facing Ronce-les-Bains, facing southeast, La Plage du Soleil truly lives up to its name. Its ideal location makes it ideal for children and parents alike.
Gatseau Beach: A large, south-facing beach sheltered from the wind and waves, it is very popular with families. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer and it is accessible to people with disabilities. It is served by the "P'tit Train de Saint-Trojan," which ventures into a wild and charming setting.
La Grande Plage: On the west coast, facing the Atlantic Ocean, stretching 3 km, beyond the forest and dunes, it is the most famous and popular beach in Oléron. Accessed via a footpath, which can be reached either by the forest road or the cycle path located at the entrance to the village. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer and, due to its size and wild nature, it is popular with surfers and bodyboarders. Many activities are practiced there: surfing, kitesurfing, sand yachting.
Saint-Trojan-les-Bains is one of the seaside resorts of character, thanks in part to its oyster port, lined with numerous colorful wooden huts, which offer a real feast for the eyes with every stroll. Today, some of these huts remain a workplace for active oyster farmers. The produce is sold either by shipment or at local markets.
Other huts have been restored to accommodate the village's artists, who inspired the painters. They were granted to the municipality by former oyster farmers and underwent a major renovation in 1997. Painters, artists of all stripes, and galleries have thus taken their place in these authentic heritage sites. So if you appreciate painting, art, and the diversity of expression... Saint-Trojan-les-Bains and its artists are ready to welcome you.
And don't forget the annual mimosa festival, which perfumes the entire island in early February.

Belle Époque villas
Highlight • Other
In addition to its beaches, what characterizes Saint-Trojan-les-Bains are its numerous seaside villas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The establishment of the first steamboat maritime links, the opening of the railway, and the advent of the first sea bathing at the end of the 19th century allowed Saint-Trojan to experience an unprecedented influx of tourists. The shelter provided by the forest, combined with a very favorable climate, made this village a very popular resort for summer visitors.
The presence of numerous Belle Epoque villas today bears witness to this glorious period. There are various regionalist inspirations, evocative of travel: English cottage, Basque villa, neo-Gothic castle, etc. They provide indications of the popular and "upscale" seaside resort that it was at that time. Some are also listed.
Note the diversity of materials used for construction: rubble, cut stone, bricks, wood, mechanical tiles, slate, etc.
