The most beautiful villages on the Atlantic coast

ars-en-ré, mornac-sur-seudre

Morning: visit La Flotte, formerly a fishing village, and stroll along the port and meet at the market dating from the Middle Ages to taste local products (fish, shellfish and crustaceans).
Afternoon: visit Ars-en-Ré, with its small white houses with green shutters, its alleys paved with flowers of hollyhocks. The church is remarkable for its black and white bell tower, used as a landmark by sailors.

Morning: visit Mornac-sur-Seudre in the heart of the marshes. Charming medieval halls, Romanesque church, traditional houses painted in white and multicoloured huts.
Afternoon: From the port of Mornac, you can take a kayak, paddleboard or river cruise along the channels to discover the Seudre estuary, the marshes and the surrounding fauna and flora.
Spend the evening around an éclade de moules, a special method for cooking mussels under a fire made of pine needles.

Morning: on the banks of the Gironde estuary, nestled on its promontory, walk through the cobbled streets of Talmont-sur-Gironde, a typical village full of charm. Lose yourself in the flower-filled alleys.
Afternoon: to Royan, the seaside resort with its 1950s architecture.
