Discover the Flavours and the Savours !
On the Theme of Cognac
The Etapes du Cognac (stages of Cognac), organised in four themed itineraries, are ideal to discover the secrets around the manufacture of this famous eau-de-vie. As for its history, you will find out everything you need to know, and more besides, at the Ecomusée du Cognac. Finally, there is nothing quite like a day out with the family or friends to the Cep enchanté, a park on the theme of Pineau, Cognac and wine.
Sea Produce
There are also many activities and itineraries related to the world of the sea. Among them, don’t miss the Route des Huîtres (Oyster Route), which, through tours of oyster farms and tasting sessions, takes you all over the Ile d’Oléron on the discovery of the famous Marennes-Oléron oyster. To prolong the experience, the association Terres Marines (Marine Lands) offers the possibility to travel on one of its boats to meet oyster farmers in their place of work, in the middle of the oyster beds.
