La Tremblade

Our favorite spots

Fall under the spell of the oyster port of La Grave and its typical and colourful huts. Stop to taste the "MarennesOléron" oysters. In summer, the sea festival is a must: traditional boats, oyster opening competition, giant hatchlings and fireworks. On Saturday mornings, stroll through the traditional market. Enter under the covered market, the fish market will awaken your taste buds. Extend your discovery and board the Train des Mouettes which takes you through the marshes of La Seudre.
