When to go to Île d'Oléron?
Fort Boyard stands offshore in the haze, a stone drum alone in open water, while the Chassiron lighthouse marks the wild northern point in black and white bands. Pine woods at La Boirie give shaded paths that smell of warm resin. La Cotinière keeps a working fishing fleet beside its beach, and the last of the sun turns the sand gold.
