Plage de Boyardville

This is my favorite beach in Oleron. The view is absolutely stunning, with the ocean stretching out before you and a refreshing breeze in the air. You can even catch a glimpse of Fort Boyarde from the beach. I adore this place and I'm sure you will too. It's worth a visit in any season, so come and see for yourself!
