About this tour

Choose from pre-planned routes covering everything from marshland ecology to maritime heritage sites, or carve your own path across town, beaches, and islands like Ré and Oléron.

What to expect
You'll collect your vintage vehicle and receive downloadable route suggestions—try the Charas circuit to see tidal marshes teeming with birdlife and visit Rochefort's listed heritage sites. Or ignore the maps entirely and navigate the quiet lanes towards coastal villages. The convertible top stays down unless weather demands it. Fuel and tolls are on you. Driving is straightforward on regional roads; parking in town can be tight, so early starts help.
