Saint-Georges-de-Didonne Beach

Highlight • Beach

Grande Conche Beach (or Saint Georges de Didonne Beach) is set between two limestone cliffs: to the north, on the Royan side, by the Vallières cliff and to the south, towards Meschers, by the Suzac cliff.
Long of more than 2 km, the beach of Saint-Georges is very arranged in its part close to the city center and more natural, wild towards the point of Suzac.
On this immense expanse of fine sand, swimming is supervised in summer (several lifeguard stations).
Many activities and services are offered: kindergarten, beach club, swimming school, beach volleyball, nautical base, rental of tents and parasols, restaurants.
Outside the summer period, sand yachting sessions take place on the Grande Conche beach under the aegis of the St Georges de Didonne sailing club.

Grottes de Matata

Highlight • Cave

There is a museum, within the dozen caves, which you can visit to go back in time to the prehistoric man who potentially took refuge in these trogolodyte caves.

Boulevard du Marais

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Boulevard du Marais offers both magnificent views of the coast and the Talmont marshes. We appreciate the contrast between the brackish meadows of the coast, the tamarisk hedges, the marshes and the salt-tolerant flora which adapts to humid environments.

Due to tidal variations, the landscape is constantly changing and is a constant source of wonder.

Saint Saturnin Church, Meschers

Highlight • Historical Site

Church rebuilt in 1837, the bell tower being the only remnant of the 15th century building. In the Flamboyant Gothic style, it has the particularity of having retained the general layout of 12th century bell towers, namely an order of applied arcades under the very openwork floor corresponding to the belfry.

Beautiful architecture of some of the houses, the good cycle path along the promenade is much nicer.
