Saint-Georges-d'Oleron

Saint-Georges-d'Oléron combines open Atlantic beaches with a quieter patchwork of villages, dunes and marshes in a way that reflects its position on the northern half of Île d'Oléron. The commune reaches from the ocean-facing coast to the Pertuis d'Antioche, the channel separating Oléron from the mainland and Île de Ré. At the island's northern tip, the Chassiron Lighthouse, rebuilt in 1836, has long marked this busy stretch of water. Settlements such as Boyardville and Domino give the area a distinctly local rhythm, while oyster farming remains part of Oléron's coastal identity.
