It is in this pool that are organized the aquagym lessons.
These are regularly booked full, but sporty people can also work out on the multi sports ground, where volleyball, handball, basketball and badminton games are organized.

Although your holiday is the opportunity to start or take up sport again, it is also the perfect time to discover new skills. Hence why residents are invited to take part in various creative and interior design workshops!
Off the coast of Charente Maritime
Although it is located in the heart of the island of Oléron, off the coast of the Charente Maritime department, the Le Verébleu campsite is all the same close to the coast and the tourist beaches. Barely three kilometres separate the establishment from the sea! The guests can go there on foot or by bicycle, and enjoy the beach to fish on foot at low tide, or to relax and sunbathe on the sand when the tide rises.
Many cycle tracks and pedestrian pathways cross the Island of Oléron, from one side to the other. Ideal for a walk, or to make a trip on a horse or by bike to discover all aspects and the beauty of this island.
Renowned for its oysters and its salt marshes, the Island of Oléron also offers an important historical heritage. Typical example is the Citadel of Château d'Oléron and the walled city that surrounds it. This stronghold, fortified by Vauban, shows a typical military architecture of that time and served to protect the estuary of the Charente, entrance to the arsenal of Rochefort. Besides Oléron, other sites have hosted fortresses and citadels for this same purpose. Fort Boyard, located halfway between the Island of Oléron and the Island of Aix, is definitely the most famous one...
