Oléron, A House on the Luminous Island

Detached house for rent on the Île d'Oléron in Saint-Denis-d'Oléron. Ideally located, just a 10-minute bike ride from the town centre and the beaches, as well as the Chassiron Lighthouse and the wild coast.
Typical of the Charente Pertuis islands, such as Ré and Aix, Oléron offers a variety of choices between sheltered, quiet beaches on the mainland side—ideal for children—and beaches facing the open ocean, perfect for all water sports.
In addition, the island offers the charm of its lively little markets and the peace and serenity of its narrow streets lined with hollyhocks. Don’t miss the traditional fishing port of La Cotinière with its colourful trawlers, as well as the brightly coloured oyster huts at the famous Marennes-Oléron basin.
The entire island is criss-crossed by a comprehensive network of bike paths and offers an ideal setting for walks and hikes, between the old salt marshes and the two forest areas of Saint Trojan and Boyardville. Of course, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Fort Boyard from the entire east coast, especially from Saumonards Beach.
Finally, throughout the season, daily boat services will allow you to either spend a day in La Rochelle or take a boat trip between Fort Boyard, Île d’Aix, and Île de Ré from the port of Saint-Denis.

All amenities are just a 5-minute drive away.
