La Rochelle is one of the most beautiful towns in the Charente-Maritime. With its half-timbered houses, its marina and its surrounding ramparts, it lends itself perfectly to taking an official guided tour.

You can also take advantage of the smart restaurants for lunch or dinner along the port's bank.

The beaches around Ronce-les-Bains are great for a relaxing day by the sea. With soft sand and clear water, places like Galon, Cèpe, and Embellie are perfect for swimming or trying water sports. At low tide, you can head to the ports to go rock pooling or if you like watersports, then this area is great for surfing, body-boarding, windsurfing and paddleboarding.

Take a walk or bike ride through La Coubre Forest, where you’ll find simple trails surrounded by pine and holm oak trees. It’s a great place to see birds and maybe spot some deer, wild boars, or hawks. The sunny open spaces make it a nice spot to enjoy nature and fresh air.

Discover the very old village of Brouage, a Historic Monument known for its unique character. You’ll enjoy wandering around its old port, exploring the nearby salt marshes, and taking in views of the La Tremblade bay. This former 16th and 17th-century citadel (a strong fortress built to protect the town) now shelters the Maison de l'Estran, where you can learn all about the traditional fishing trades.
