Boucle VTC – Saujon – La Pointe de L'Éguille

Starting from the Route des Écluses in Saujon, this walk on flat paths around the Seudre will reveal magnificent landscapes with lovely salty scents where you will hear the birds singing in the marshes.
In Saujon, you will follow the Seudre by the Chemin des Carrelets, there, time has stopped! The squares will remind you that we are in the world of fishermen.

You will follow one of the smallest rivers in France, “Kingdom” of the famous “Marennes Oléron” oyster: the Seudre. During your walk, you will observe the sea gardeners who come and go on their flat-bottomed boats and you will rub shoulders with the marsh fauna. The banks of this river form a labyrinth of channels and squares of water cut with grass.

A former island in the Seudre estuary, L'Éguille offers the discovery of a picturesque port, neighboring the oyster beds in the heart of the salt marshes.

At “Pointe de L'Éguille” you will admire a magnificent view of the Seudre and the liman channel.
