The fishing port, the first sardine port of the Atlantic coast, whose reputation is well known, will seduce you. Extend your visit to the fishermen’s quarter by visiting the Fisherman’s House, a testimony to the maritime life of the seaside town.

The Saint Croix church on the right bank, the big lighthouse, the Josephine tower and the pedestrian street with its numerous shops. This one will lead you to the left bank that you will reach by the Concorde Bridge. This brings you to the Quai Garcie-Ferrande, ideal for a walk or a bike ride. Go up to the church of St Gilles through the alleys. Go along the quay and finish on one side by the large beach and its embankment with colorful cabins or on the other side by a walk along the Vie, the river that separates the resort in 2 parts.
