L'aiguillon-Sur-Mer: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer forms the coastal front of the Marais Poitevin on the Baie de l'Aiguillon. The town stretches along a 12-kilometre-long dune belt between the Lay and a former river channel. At the Pointe de l'Aiguillon, dunes, mudflats and salt marshes meet on a sandy peninsula shaped by the currents of the Lay and the tides.

Those who choose L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer for their stay want to rent a holiday apartment there.

Coastal Landscape

The sandy beaches of L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer stretch for 3.5 kilometres and are bordered by dunes. As a result, different coastal forms lie side by side within the town: the sandy beaches and the Pointe de l'Aiguillon, shaped by water movements, with its mudflats and salt marshes.

Paths and Water

The Sentier du patrimoine is a 5.7-kilometre circular trail through the village and its lanes. The Sentier pédestre de la Pointe is another circular trail, measuring 3.5 kilometres.

The bathing area near the centre of L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer has neither waves nor tidal effects. It features a marked 700-metre loop for training in triathlon, aquathlon and swim-run. The bathing area also offers free access to a Splash Game and Warrior Game.

Culture and Culinary Delights

The Digue du Génie is considered an outstanding feat of civil and structural engineering from the Second French Empire and was later renovated, reinforced and extended. On the Route de la Pointe in L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer, Chez Greg offers oyster tastings and guided tours.
