Timeline
16:16
Check the route to a nearby café. There are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate context near the Stade municipal, so you will need to locate a local spot yourself before heading out.
17:06
Walk to the Pertuis de Maumusson beaches. This is a 51-minute walk from the Stade, but we start early to secure a good spot on the sand banks. The water is warmer here and the sand protects swimmers from currents, making it a safe place to linger.
17:46
Watch the sunset. On 15 January, the sun sets at 17:46 toward the WSW. From this northwest beach, you have a clear view of the southern end of Île d'Oléron as the golden light fades.
18:46
Return to the Stade municipal. The walk back is the same distance. Use this time to reflect on the quiet evening by the water before heading home.
Local tip
The beaches at Pertuis de Maumusson are in the northwest of the municipality. The sand banks protect swimmers from currents, and the water tends to be somewhat warmer here. Bring a jacket as it gets cold after sunset in January.
