Chenal du Douhet

Highlight • Other

The Chenal du Douhet is a picturesque site located on the island of Oléron, between the towns of Saint-Georges d'Oléron and La Brée-les-Bains. Here are some interesting points about it:

1. **Pleisure port**: The port of Douhet is a lively place, especially in summer, with a capacity of around 350 boats. It is equipped with all the amenities necessary for boaters, including a modern harbor master's office.

2. **History**: The channel and port were developed in the 1840s to facilitate commercial salt and wine traffic. Today they are mainly used for pleasure.

3. **Activities**: The site is ideal for bike rides, with cycle paths running along the channel. You will also find restaurants and bars nearby, making it a nice place to relax after a day of sailing or walking.

A classic from Boyardville. Forest, marshes, marina, beautiful beach, restaurant, countryside and cows, and cool undergrowth on the way back.
