Boucle VTC – Le Tour Royan Atlantique par Marennes

This 3-night hike will take you to sublime scenery.

Royan, capital of the Côte de Beauté, will not leave you indifferent.
Bombed on 5/1/45, it was rebuilt according to the architectural rules of the 50s.

Until La Tremblade, you will pass through all these seaside resorts, the postcards of the Coast. All the beaches on the edge of town will undoubtedly make you want to take a dip.

After crossing the Seudre either by ferry boat or by the bridge, you will find yourself in the Bassin de Marennes Oléron.

Let yourself be tempted by a tasting of the most famous oyster.
Listed in Natura 2000, “marshes and estuary of the Seudre and Oléron” are classified as remarkable coastal areas.

From Saujon to Mortagne, the Coteaux de Gironde offer you magnificent views of the estuary and the surrounding countryside where the bell towers of the Romanesque churches will guide you on your route.

Then, you will follow the estuary where History will invite itself into your escapade.
