Antonin's advice
“Even if I give you a lot of advice in the apartment guide, I still recommend you to push the door of the Tourist Office at the beginning of your stay. The teams know the peninsula by heart and can suggest activities based on the weather, your age, your desires. Take advantage of the ticketing for paid sites (Océarium, Espadon, Château de Careil, Maison des Paludiers): the preferential rates are really worth it and guarantee you a place in high season. And the shop offers lovely gift ideas made in Presqu'île.”
