Sentier Détours N°2 – Saujon

Starting from the right bank of the port of Ribérou, this Détours Trail takes you along the Seudre maritime along the ponds of the Lande leisure area and even goes all the way around it via Route 2 "La Seudre maritime".
In this haven of freshness and tranquillity, you can push up to a superb view of the Seudre and its marshes. The canal that blocks your way forces you to turn around to go back into the surrounding countryside, then around the bodies of water. You will cross the charming village of Ilate in pure Charentais style to reach your starting point.

The fresh and salt waters of the Seudre meet at the Saujon locks. On its estuary section, a walking path along the Seudre connects the Port of Ribérou to the commune of L'Éguille-sur-Seudre, passing through the hamlet of Le Breuil. A walking path along the Seudre connects it to the Port of Ribérou. In the 11th century, the salt marshes in the surrounding area made the port rich. Today, the landscapes are made up of marshes and lakes (including those of La Lande).
