AIX ISLAND
'The Genuine' one
Aix is a small isle (120 inhabitants) located between Ré and Oléron; shaped like a crescent, it is 600m wide and 3 km long.
Neither car nor bus will get you to the isle of Aix! Take the boat at the headland called “pointe de Fouras” (leave your car in the Fouras parking space), sit back and enjoy a 20-minute crossing as you admire the Atlantic and there you are, you are there.
On Aix island nothing has changed, but don’t proclaim it; after all, our secret is worth keeping!
Face to the islands of Ré and Oléron, an attentive visitor may likewise espy Fort Boyard. The isle is to be discovered on foot, by bike and in a chaise! It will take a walker about three hours to circle the island.
Fortified by Vauban and featuring the house where Napoleon spent his final hours, the isle of Aix is an open-air history textbook. Its one village sports several paved streets providing a glimpse of genuine local architecture. And between the headlands of Sainte-Catherine and Coudepont, you will find small sandy coves bordered by pine and cypress forests.
The serene and sedate coastline lends itself felicitously to fishing, bathing and boating.
