Châtelaillon Beach

Highlight • Beach

Long beach of fine sand such as is seldom seen on the Atlantic coast.

The slope of the beach is gentle and the waves are small to ensure safe swimming. In addition, the beach is supervised in high season.

In low season, it is possible to practice sand yachting, canoeing and kite flying: this beach is lively all year round!

Come and discover these typical fishermen's huts (carrelets) of the Yves marsh. It's a nice quiet cycle route, perfect for enjoying the coast.

Rochefort Transporter Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In the 19th century, the only way to cross the Charente was by ferry. But this one was disturbed by the tides. It would have been necessary to build a bridge, but it would have blocked the maritime traffic, then very important on the Charente. It was therefore decided to build this transporter bridge, which was inaugurated in 1900.

The pylons and bridge deck are fixed. A mobile nacelle is suspended from the deck and circulates between the two banks of the Charente thanks to a trolley.

The transporter bridge operated from 1900 to 1967, then was replaced by a lift bridge, itself destroyed in 1991. The transporter bridge has resumed service and now allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross for €2 or €3 each way -feedback.
