Madam Island from the sky

This wild island is connected to the mainland by the "Passe aux Bœufs".

Madam Island is only accessible at low tide by a one kilometer long shoreline that is best approached on foot (for the environment). Ideally, you should park your car in the Port-des-Barques car park at the foot of the "Passe aux Bœufs" and cross it on foot.
L’idéal est de garer la voiture sur le parking de Port-des-Barques situé au pied de la « Passe aux Bœufs » et de traverser à pied

Madam Island, a classified natural site that deserves to be discovered

The walk around this jewel offers magnificent views on Fouras-Les-Bains and its Vauban Fort, on the "carrelets" and on the islands of Aix and Oléron.
