Itinerary 4: Marking from the port of Meschers-sur-Gironde, the "Rives de Gironde" markup will guide you in your getaway to Barzan Plage. At the real estate agency, take the chemin de Chandorat on the left then follow the DV markings. The "Meschers-sur-Gironde -Talmont and Barzan Plage" section is on its own site. When you leave the "Canal des 2 mers" route at the real estate agency, you are on a shared route. At Port de Meschers, when the lock is closed, you can cut through to reach the bar and restaurant area. At the port, on the technical area side, the cycle path continues on its own site at the end of the car park at the level of the bowling green.

Autumn, Summer, Winter, Spring

The portion of the route between Cozes and Fontenille follows limestone paths which are not suitable for road bikes. VTC or city type models are necessary.
Cozes is halfway on the route and can serve as a stopover town.

You will walk between the river and the hills and discover the small villages nestled in the hollows of the valleys. At each turn of the winding roads, your gaze will escape towards the Estuary whose changing colors highlight the landscape.

Your getaway will be filled with treasures and curiosities to observe:
- Talmont-sur-Gironde, classified as "Most Beautiful Villages in France" and "Villages of Stones and Water"
- The Archaeological Site of Fâ in Barzan
- The troglodyte caves of Meschers, carved into the cliff.
