CHASSIRON LIGHTHOUSE
Lighthouse offering a view of the north of the island of Oleron, the ocean, the Pertuis d'Antioche, the Rochelaise coast and the islands of Aix and Ré
At 46 m, it has been the island's highest point for two centuries. Climbing the 224 steps takes a little effort, but the view will make you forget all about it. If sailors see it as a landmark, tourists see it as an exceptional panorama. The garden and museum dedicated to the "people of the coast between land and sea" are just as enjoyable. Guided tours are available to enjoy the sunset and discover the environmental richness of the site. Evening tours in summer.

Le jardin à son pied en forme de rose des vent est très agréable et permet d'oublier le temps bercé par le bruit de l'océan qui vient frapper le pied de la falaise. Endroit très agréable où il est possible de se restaurer et d'acheter des produits locaux mais qui ressemble à une "ruche" quand il y a beaucoup d'affluence.
A son sommet, on peut y voir le pont de l'île de ré, Fort Boyard ainsi que l’île d’Aix. Un site à couper le souffle
