A holiday on the Island staying near La Cotinière including seeing a Bride on a fishing boat!
Located on the west coast, in the commune of Saint-Pierre d’Oléron, La Cotinière is a little corner of paradise, where you can relax in the cool morning air while admiring the fishermen untying their nets. Not to be missed, the visit to the fish market organized by the tourist office.
Île d’Oléron is an island off the west coast of France. It’s joined to the mainland by a bridge and is crisscrossed by cycle paths. It features pine forests, dunes and sandy beaches such as La Brée-les-Bains. Fishing ports fringe the island, such as the busy La Cotinière in the major town of Saint-Pierre d’Oléron. Le Château d’Oléron, a town known for its oysters, is home to La Citadelle, a huge waterfront fortress.
