The port of La Palmyre is a must-see on the Charente coast. Nestled in the heart of the Bonne Anse bay, it offers a peaceful setting where pleasure boats, calm waters, and preserved natural landscapes blend together. It is an ideal place to take a break during a cycling or mountain biking trip, admire the panorama, and enjoy the maritime atmosphere. With its remarkable viewpoints over the bay and the ocean, the port of La Palmyre is an essential stop for discovering the coastline.
