Cognac, Pineau des Charentes and “Charentais wines” are celebrated on this island where the combination of terroir and time-honoured expertise create products with unique flavours.
This unspoilt natural landscape is classified as a wild, protected site. Why not try “frozen” Cognac with Marennes Oléron oysters or seafood freshly unloaded onto the La Cotinière quays for an original, exquisite pairing?
Discover the island’s rich heritage, including the Château d’Oléron citadel and the Chassiron lighthouse or wander alongside the multicoloured former oyster-farming huts now home to artists’ workshops.
