In September it is not so crowded. I went there in the morning. This is a good time to meet not too many tourists. But I can imagine its full in summertime. Parking 2 hours is possible for free.

Stopped for dessert and drinks, ended up dancing until 1am.

I love this place I first visited it 30 years ago. Don't change much,that's a good thing. Scenic port,nice beach, good restaurants and tourist shops. Recommended.

Love this place It's got the lot Beach Harbour Great shopping Great food

Nice working harbour

Great fir a walk in the evening ,vibrant place. Great restaurants, lovely little shops . Beaches are beautiful

Harbor for a small fishing fleet. There town around it is a predictable tourist trap, but enjoyable none the less.

Wonderful. Great tasting food, friendly and helpful staff. Special shout out for Hénéa.

have eaten here many times previously and usually good but poor dining experience recently, seated in an inaccessible and uncomfortable place, when complained waitress and owner were rude, uncompromising and unapologetic, meal was standard average, place is not what it used to be and focus seems to be on volume not quality now, will not go again.

Lovely restaurant with local seafood

Delicious small family restaurant with quality local products and obvious attention to details. Best one we tried in the area. Everything we ordered was great but in particular the sardines rollmops, the daurade (poisson du jour) and the fish and chips. We didn’t order the sardines grillées but they looked worth it. Our waiter was a gem too. Definitely a place we will return to

Great quality seafood! Amazing oysters! Relaxed and cozy atmosphere

Top !

Super !

Very basic place, tasteless food and pricy... We went for a quick lunch and ended up staying there for 90min... the food is too basic and I can honestly say I make better crepes/pancakes... you have to pay for everything, even for a plate and a fork if you come with a very young kid. I had never seen that before in my life...

Very good ice and coupes First photo is chocolatine Second photo is Bounty

Dined here 3 times on our holiday, best nini burger, waffles and crepes on ile d’oleron by far. Great friendly service, reasonably priced, highly recommend this place if you’re in the area, La Cotiniere is also my favourite town on the island. 😋

Delicious, absolutely Delicious and very sickly too! Outdoor seating is comfy and there are a few seats inside too. Large selection of crêpes, Guafrets and drinks. Would largely recommend going here.

Brilliant crepes, fantastic customer service. They were very understanding when my bad French accent ended up with a wrong item being ordered and corrected it free of charge, very kind of them.

Too expensive - and in which bar/restaurant do you pay upfront??? Especially if you have ice cream on something hot... good product tho

Correct.

Great place for dinner, excellent service, tasty food, I highly recommend 🥰

I just want to share for those who will be in a similar situation. We drove for over 5hrs from Urdos and was looking for a campsite so we can stop for the night and rest. Turned up and said they have one pitch left. I had a looked, wasn't the best as it was on a corner end but I was abit desperate as it was 5pm and getting late so I paid 66Euros for family of 4. Went quickly to the beach just to relax before the sun sets. A few hours after we went back to pitch our tents. As we were setting up we noticed strong smell of urine around and found some dog poo that I have cleared! Obviously other campers were using it as a toilet! In the end my young boys and husband refused to stay as once you were on the ground the bad smell of urine just lingers. So we decided to leave but reception was closed so didn't get the chance to inform any staff as no one around and was getting really late. Next morning I phoned them to let them know what happened. Unfortunately they refused to give me a refund, even half refund which I'm asking for. I emailed their office but said since I left and didn't tell anyone and that I agreed to take the pitch so no refund will be issued. I have worked all my life in hospitality industry and certain situations like that should be taken into consideration. In this note definitely wouldn't recommend this place. I am more happy to stay in little family run camp sites who really value their customers!

In common, camping good. But why pool is anly till 20:00, water was cold ,and it would be better to take sauna in evening. but: Beach is terrible, only in 1 place you can swim without rocks under your feet. 1 Cafe with untasty cocktail, one day cappuccino was good,next day without whipped cream. But you can go 10 min in city and have good coffee or cocktail, and market also there. Next year I will choose other place.

Campervan trip We had a fantastic time in our VW camper which was parked right next to the sea. Every night we could watch the sunset over the sea and listen to the sound of the waves. The staff are very helpful. The site we found to be very clean and well run. One thing I don't understand is why Speedos only in the pool, it implies my swimming shorts were not hygienic, every country has their own silly rules. Jump on a bike it's easy to get around.

We had a nice stay. The beach is beautiful and also the landscape is nice. Only the weather was not that good when we stayed there but that's not the Hosts fault so 4 stars!

Great Meal here from the set menu €20 for 3 course

Had a good time here. Food and wine and was very reasonably priced. Views over the harbour and watched the boats landing their catch.

Nothing can beat that view! The food was great and the staff were kind 👌 😇

Very good. Fair price

Well, well, well!! You can find a really great pizza in France afterall. As an ex-pat who happens to live in France, I very, very rarely come across a pizzeria here that knows the basics of even a Margerita. This convivial and extremely friendly outpost is a pizza fans happy place, serving dainty and delicious pizzas with a proper smoky-burnt crust. If you like your base extra crispy, just ask. If you are rightly terrified that you're in France and that they'll use a teaspoon of tomato sauce base and a mix of cheap, grated emmental and mounds of chevre cheeses as the fromage, fear not here. Better still, the service is welcoming, accommodating and the right side of friendly - whether you're taking away or eating in at the terrace at the back. Granted, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but trust me - this is an extremely worthy pizza joint.

Ate there last evening. Very pleasant staff with good English. Had a lovely meal. The steak was a very fatty & I felt a better cut of meat would have been nicer. There was very little meat for the weight of the steak. The wine was lovely & the atmosphere was relaxed. Great for kids & families. Would recommend but perhaps not the steak.

Tres bien. Despite our lack of French language the staff was very helpful and nice. The food was good and plentiful.

Excellent pizza, good wine, good service what more can you ask

Very indifferent food. But good service.

The worst place

Amazing service and a vending machine!! 3 minute pizzas!!

(Translated by Google) Impossible to find a restaurant that was still serving at 10:30 p.m. We came across this vending machine while walking around, and the pizzas are excellent. Well filled, good taste, the machine prepares them quickly (3 minutes cooked, 30 seconds cold). Two tables to be able to eat, and a wooden knife provided in the box to be able to cut the pizza. (Original) Impossible de trouver un restaurant qui servait encore à 22h30. Nous sommes tombés sur ce distributeur en nous baladant, et les pizzas sont excellentes. Bien garnies, bon goût, la machine les prépare rapidement (3 minutes cuites, 30 secondes froides). Deux tables pour pouvoir manger, et un couteau en bois fourni dans la boîte pour pouvoir découper la pizza.

(Translated by Google) I ordered three pizzas. All three had undercooked pizza dough, and two of them (a four-cheese pizza and a margarita) had way too much cheese. Generosity is good, but not at the expense of the product! Clearly, the dough was too thin and undercooked. I felt like I'd had a plate of melted cheese without the dough. As a result, the pizzas weren't eaten and ended up in the trash. (Original) J'ai pris 3 pizzas, les 3 avait la pâte à pizza pas assez cuite et sur 2 des pizzas (une 4 fromages et une margarita) beaucoup beaucoup trop de fromage, la générosité c'est bien mais pas au détriment du produit!!! Là clairement la pâte était trop fine et pas assez cuite, j'ai clairement eu l'impression d'avoir eu une assiette de fromage fondues sans pâte. Résultats le pizzas n'ont pas était mangé et sont partis a la poubelle.

(Translated by Google) Change of owner No more home delivery Very bland pizza, undercooked In short, tasteless despite the ingredients... And no smell of wood-fired pizza when you pick it up... You know that delicious smell that makes you want to eat it! I don't recommend it! (Original) Changement de propriétaire Plus de livraison à domicile Pizza très fade, pas assez cuite Bref, sans goût malgré les ingrédients…. Et aucune odeur de pizza cuite au feu de bois quand vous la récupérez … Vous savez cette bonne odeur qui vous donne envie de la manger ! Je ne recommande pas

(Translated by Google) Update 2024 Six of us were here last night. Service worked smoothly and our food came to the table for everyone. For this reason, you cannot reserve tables for more than 8 people!

The food (menu) was delicious and the other dishes we ordered were also praised. Very nice staff 2022 There were seven of us yesterday and we all ate very well. Although we are not “professionals”. But we all thought it was good value for money and we will definitely reserve a table there again next year. The daily menu was very tasty :-) (Original) Update 2024 Gestern Abend waren wir zu sechst hier. Service hat reibungslos funktioniert und unser Essen kam für alle auf dem Tisch passend.

Essen (Menü) war lecker und auch die anderen bestellten Gerichte würden gelobt. Sehr nettes Personal 2022 Wir waren gestern zu siebt und haben alle sehr gut gegessen. Wobei wir keine „Profis“ sind. Preis Leistung fanden wir aber alle gut und wir werden nächstes Jahr sicher wieder dort einen Tisch reservieren. Das Tagesmenü war sehr lecker :-)

Friendly crew for a 1hr 20 min boat trip to see the infamous fort. We had a wonderful experience with the marine helicopter welcoming us with an air show!!!

Unforgettable impressions! I went on a catamaran trip with KAPALOUEST. Great atmosphere, friendly crew, and a really interesting trip. The excursion included an aperitif, and you can also bring your own food. Duration: 4 hours.

This place has been on my bucket list for a while and I recently visited in the last week of June. I used one of the boat tour companies and it was incredible and a must do if you're in La Rochelle. Although you can't land on the fort, it's still spectacular to circle it and admire the fort that's been on our TV in the past, and for some countries still is!

Not as big as you would think,no realy it's quite small. Trip out and back, worth a visit.

Unique place. I've dreamt to see it since my early years. Unfortunately, we did only one circle around it, but it's really magically beautiful.

The very best show I have ever seen, the two dwarves and the whole staff are a dream! Great team, great game ideas and the best shows, I hope that the Hungarian Fort Boyard will come more often.

A stone building in the middle of the see, an interesting history for the building which was a fort, a prison and now the set for TV show around the world Fort Boyard!! Do not hesitate to take a tour from La Rochelle to cruise around Aix, Oleron islands and see the Re island bridge. Leaving La Rochelle is also something interesting and beautiful to see. Relax and enjoy!!!

A good beach for a young family. It’s around 800m to the port. It’s supervised. It has views of Fort Boyard. The beach was not crowded and the sea was calm, great for young ones. Parking is ample.

Nice clean sandy beach. Parking and toilets available although the cleanliness of the toilet was rather questionable. There is a café but we went on the day it is closed. The beach has lifeguards. Unlike the other side of the island, the sea is calm here and also shallow, so it is ideal for families with smaller children.

This is My favourite plage around Oleron. View is amazing😍⭐⭐⭐ Watching ocean, feeling it's breeze....what could be better?❤️ From the beach you can see Fort Boyarde. I love this place and hope u will love it too💖 any season this beach will be interesting to visit just come and check it 🤩🌟💖

Not dog friendly. The ferry is, but not sure what you are expected to do with your dog when you get to Ile d'Oleron. Just hang out at the restaurants at the pier??? It's not like you can drive to other parts of the island if you come by ferry. We had to trek out far with our dog to go to a part of the island that didn't have lifeguards shooing us away. Terrible experience

Very nice and not too busy,but it is November so not expecting it..

Ras

Very long beach of soft sand. East access from the footpaths that go onto the beach. reat views to sea and of the marina.

Really lovely place to cycle, meander or relax.

Thought it was a fort, like a castle, but it's just some random houses

good nice tour of the oyster farm. tour is only in French.

If you're on the island, this is a place you must visit

A walk at an oyster site, good degustation. Dogs not welcome.

Nature

Lovely location

Pretty decent.. spend a good hour watching some birds with the kids. Nothing special, but it's alright if you are in the area

A very poor sight for animal lovers. A lot of broken wings in dirty waters. Dirty cages. Some ill animals. We would like to think that they had provisional problems. Unfortunately we cannot recommend this place.

Excellent bird sanctuary with lots of wild birds nesting or roosting in addition to the resident birds. Herons Storks and Egrets

Find natural beauty here

Pleasant enough. Took 50 mins to walk around. Not too much going on.

Whay the.

Super ❤️

Uhm

Very interesting history of the the Île

Worth visiting.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting museum, the current exhibition on Pierre Loti is rich and very enriching, allowing you to discover little-known facets of this character. She made me want to reread her books and discover those I don't know yet. The part dedicated to the island is complete, it allows you to discover the island and its past better than all the other visits! Thank you for this treasure! (Original) Musée très intéressant, l'exposition du moment sur Pierre Loti est riche et très enrichissante, permettant de découvrir des facettes peu connues de ce personnage.

(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise, both for the well-presented collections and the interesting temporary exhibition, as well as for the pleasant and thoughtful welcome. Three rooms offer a good overview of daily life and material culture in Oléron (rural housing and work before modernity, construction of the viaduct and the birth of the holiday resort, artists and Oléron landscapes); upstairs, the space was dedicated to the seaside architecture of Charente-Maritime in the second half of the 20th century. Don't hesitate to push open the door of this charming museum! (Original) Une belle surprise, tant par les collections bien présentées et l'intéressante exposition temporaire que par l'accueil agréable et délicat. Trois salles offrent un bon aperçu de la vie quotidienne comme de la culture matérielle à Oléron (habitat rural et travail avant la modernité, construction du viaduc et naissance de la villégiature, artistes et paysages oléronais) ; à l'étage, l'espace était consacré à l'architecture balnéaire de Charente-Maritime dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. N'hésitez pas à pousser la porte de ce charmant musée !

(Translated by Google) A pleasant museum which offers very simple access to knowledge. Quite complete, we discover in the three rooms on the ground floor a little of the history of the island, what the inhabitants lived by, their trades and the tools related to them. Everything is presented in a fun and accessible way for children, which allows adults to have an intuitive and relaxed visit. The temporary exhibition from 03/10/2018 to 09/30/2018 is BANDE A PART. It brings together the works of more than 20 artists, the visitor is invited to vote for one of them at the end of the visit. I found it very interesting, an exhibition booklet is offered to each visitor: 50 pages of souvenirs to take home. (Original) Un musée agréable qui offre des accès très simples aux savoirs. Assez complet, on découvre dans les trois pièces du rez-de-chaussée un peu l'histoire de l'île, de quoi vivaient les habitants, leurs métiers et les outils qui s'y rapportent. Tout est présenté de façon ludique et accessible aux enfants, ce qui autorisent les adultes à faire une visite intuitive et détendue. L'exposition temporaire du 10/03/2018 au 30/09/2018 est BANDE A PART. Elle regroupe les œuvres de plus de 20 artistes, le visiteur est invité à voter pour l'une d'entre elles à la fin de la visite. Je l'ai trouvé très intéressante, un livret de l'exposition est offert à chaque visiteur : 50 pages de souvenirs à emporter chez soi.

🌟 Great pasta and pizza at Le Mille Pâtes! We visited as a group of three and ordered two pizzas and one lasagna — everything was fresh and delicious. The crust on the pizzas was thin and crispy, and the lasagna was comforting and flavorful. ⠀ For drinks, we had pineapple juice, apple juice, and a Coca-Cola — all served cold and refreshing. ⠀ The atmosphere was casual and pleasant, and service was friendly. A nice place for a relaxed meal if you're in the area!

Very nice food and friendly staff.

Excellent place, the food (pizzas and lasagna) were very tasteful. Quick and good quality service. Recommend 👍

Good pizzas. Disappointing pastas. Slightly overpriced. But probably the best pizza in town... Despite all that

Just awesome! Great food, friendly staff etc.

Food served with Parisian attitude

Excellent. Found this place by chance. Great welcome and epic pizzas!

It's a lovely place on Île d'Oléron. The dining area is made of a couple of tents. Parking is easy. They serve seafood: choice of local oysters, prawns, sea snails, mussels. But I've had prawns before you might say. But as good as them? Mussels are served with a delicious parsley butter and generous. Oysters are available in 4 sizes (the higher the number the smaller the oyster) and were superb. The food is hyper fresh. Some dishes come with a complimentary glass of wine. Prices are moderate. Great place I'd happily return to.

So good we went twice! Fifi and Nanou are a lovely couple serving simple but excellent fresh oysters and shell fish. Local wine also available to accompany the excellent food.

This place is a true gem. Beautiful surroundings. Lovely hosts. Delicious Oysters and without a doubt the best muscles I have ever eaten. Great value too. If you are in the area you must visit

No dogs allowed. Completely understandable as this is a nature reserve, but clear signage would have been nice.

Such friendly service and fantastic oysters

Comme for the Oysters and stay for Fifi et Nanou

Excellent !

Café est dégueulasse. One guy's service was bad. My daughter was crying. Our bihind tables customer got some deserts after the guy explained that kitchen was closed. You can provide just 1 ice-cream for kid. Not for adult. And I am supprised that how to speak to us. Change ur job. U are not good serveur at all. Shame on u!

Fine little restaurant with live music. Fun staff always helpful.

I would not recommend this restaurant. The food was not good

Excellent restaurant

Food OK.

Excellent

Bon KF resto

Arrived thinking this was a nice quiet site, kept awake by teenagers playing hide and seek around the tents until midnight, noisy adults and music until 2am, even though the site rules say no noise after 10.30! Decided to leave after paying for 2 nights and being refused a refund for 2nd night by owner who didn't even apologise, but said that the next night would be tranquil !!!! DO NOT GO!
