Ré, Aix and Oléron: the Pertuis from La Rochelle

12 places · Charente-Maritime

Les Minimes, 4,500 berths, is the starting point; in a day you reach Saint-Martin-de-Ré and its gated basin, Île d'Aix and its anchorage under the fort, Boyard on the way, then Oléron via Le Château or Saint-Denis. The Pertuis are shallow and the banks shift: follow the buoyed channels, and wait for opening hours at Saint-Martin, Le Château and La Flotte.
