August 2, 2025,De Brouage au pont Transbordeur

A beautiful walk between the sea, nature, and marshes.
A must-see Transporter Bridge, and the Soubise ferry are a nice way to return to the left bank.
Some sections of the road are asphalt, but it's difficult to find a way around it, and there are few people on the road.
A lunch break at L'Escale (Echillais) is highly recommended.
