Departure from Loix (Charente-Maritime)
Best enjoyed in winter in the sunshine, without the crowds of tourists.
This hike can also be extended by about 1.5 km via the eastern part of Loix, Le Clénandré.
There are no difficulties or pitfalls, and everything is well signposted. Much of the route can also be covered by bicycle.
Much of the route is on a dyke where you will have a beautiful view of the sea and the barnacle geese in season.
