This coastal taxi links Île d'Oléron, France's largest Atlantic island and the heart of the Marennes-Oléron oyster basin (Europe's largest, producing 40,000 tonnes annually), to Royan, the great Côte de Beauté resort rebuilt in striking 1950s modernist style after wartime bombing. Oléron's salt marshes produce delicate hand-harvested fleur de sel. Fort Boyard is visible from the bridge. Royan has five sandy beaches including the 2.3 km Grande Conche, the remarkable concrete Notre-Dame church, and the famous central market. The Palmyre zoo nearby is France's most visited.
