What is there to see when you stay at a campsite by the sea in Charente Maritime? For a start, there’s La Rochelle, one of the most fascinating towns on the entire Atlantic Coast. This is your chance to explore the coastal paths, visit the port and go sightseeing to admire a whole array of monuments that look even more beautiful at sunset. La Rochelle has become the place to be in Charente Maritime.
You’ll also be able to sail to the island of Ré to explore its wealth of historical heritage, or to simply spend a day at the beach. Then you can soak up the authentic feel of the small villages on the island of Oléron and try some of the local specialities. Have you ever tried their famous “cagouille” speciality based on snails?
Back in the hinterland, appreciate the beauty of the small villages, so typical of Charentes, some of which are listed among “the most beautiful villages in France”. The citadel of Brouage, for example, is Charentes at its purest. This small village, a former salt capital and then a prison town, has lots of stories to tell and a whole host of surprises in store!
