Île d'Oléron is the largest French Atlantic island after Corsica, nicknamed 'the luminous island' for its 2,300+ hours of annual sunshine. The Marennes-Oléron oyster basin produces France's most famous oysters, refined in shallow clay pools called 'claires'. Le Château-d'Oléron has a Vauban citadel and colourful oyster-shack art studios. Fort Boyard is visible from the bridge. The taxi crosses the toll-free 2,862-metre Oléron bridge, traverses the Marennes basin and reaches La Rochelle's medieval towers and Old Port.
