Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Ile d'Oleron, France

MicroClimate and Oysters: A local micro climate ensures the region is the second sunniest in France. The beaches are beautiful and natural, protected by dunes backed by immense pine forests. This makes Oléron a lovely place to walk and enjoy nature, whether it be a mushroom picking jaunt in the autumn, or simply a summer stroll through the pine forests and along the beautiful beaches. Since oyster farming is traditionally the islands largest economy, there are various tourist attractions centred around this, like trips out on to the east coast marshes at low tide and, of course oyster detestation restaurants. The famous oyster marshes are recognisable throughout the island and are surrounded by colourful huts, working and artisan, which bring artists and seafood lovers from all over the place. Keeping in this style you will find that the whole island is full of amazing seafood restaurants and bars to help you while away the activities of your day. You can find all types of restaurant on the island.

Eating out: Keeping in this style you will find that the whole island is full of amazing seafood restaurants and bars to help you while away the activities of your day. You can find all types of restaurant on the island; from basic little oyster huts that serve the simplest, most delicious oysters you’ve ever tasted, fresh from the marshes, to Italian, Thai, organic vegetarian Indian to high class gastronomic French cuisine. Wherever you go you will usually find a good menu and plenty of fresh fish! We are always at hand to recommend good restaurants whatever your tastes may be.

Le Chateau- Things to do: There is a lovely planted mini golf course as well as public petang or ‘french boules’ pitches in the town. Also on a Sunday morning in Le Chateau you will find all the delights of the biggest markets on the island, bringing people from all the localities all year round. Le Chateau also boasts a lovely newly renovated port and marina, full of restaurants and artisans huts offering everything from langoustines, to hand made home furnishings and beautiful jewellery. Next to the port is the historic Citadel, an original Vauban fortress dating back to the 17th century, but now more commonly used to host jazz festivals, art exhibitions or fireworks displays. There is also a nice beach in the town with a sea water swimming pool during the summer to enable swimming at low tide and safe swimming for the little ones. Although the east coast beaches aren’t quite as typically beautiful as the west coast ones, they are certainly quaint and the sea is always warmer here than the Atlantic coast.

Golf: There is a 9 hole course available at the golf club at St Pierre in the middle of the island, near the east coast. Contact details are as follows... Address: La Vieille Perrotine, 17310 SAINT PIERRE Téléphone: 05 46 47 11 59 Fax: 05 46 75 07 56

Island Vacances

Philx Hampton
Review Submitted: August 25, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Stayed for a week in August 2009 with two teenagers and had a great time. Perfect for a family holiday. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and in a good location. Supermarket was just down the road. Different beach every day. Great food. Owner was welcoming and helpful.
Owner's Response: Pleasure to have such a nice family to stay! We've had a great summer. Everyone has treated the apartment with respect and made the most of this beautiful island. Thank you and hope to see you again in the future!

This holiday had all we wished for: nice, modern apartment, privat garden and very friendly and helpful owners. We loved the beaches, exploring the island and making trips to La Rochelle, Saintes, Rochefort and the zoo of La Palmyre.

Review Submitted: May 26, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2007
Description probably doesnt do this little gem justice. Close to Le Chateau and the best beaches and the essential supermarket it is the ideal base for any type of holiday. Facilities are spot on - new and clean and quiet. Owners are friendly but not intrusive. Last year was our fifth year on Oleron - and we learned more about the island in two weeks than we have in previous 4 years. If you feel the need to venture further, trips to cosmopolitan La Rochelle, historic Saintes and even Futuroscope can be done in a day.
