    • Departing from Royan, come and admire the great curiosities of the Estuary : the Cordouan Lighthouse, the Pointe de Grave, the Côte du Médoc, the Troglodyte Caves of Meschers, the Fort de Suzac, the tip and the lighthouse of Vallières and the Royan Bay.

      Visit the Cordouan lighthouse nicknamed "Versailles of the Seas", 68 meters high with its 301 steps. The first lighthouse classified as a Historic Monument in 1862, it is the only lighthouse at sea in the world still inhabited by keepers and open to visitors. The Cordouan lighthouse is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

      We have been transporting visitors to Cordouan since 1992. The visits are organized in partnership with the SMIDDEST manager of the lighthouse.

    A fabulous experience, an atypical adventure: journey by boat then by amphibian to reach the submerged path which leads to the foot of the lighthouse. We were lucky to have magnificent weather and a great sunset over the lighthouse. Friendly and considerate captain and crew, the safety of their passengers is their priority. I recommend this getaway which leaves one unforgettable.

    Staff is very rude, left a elderly person standing while they make me run to the other side of the harbour with some very unclear instructions. Avoid at all cost if you are a foreigner…

    5 / 5 Reviews posted by OliviaJJL (Bordeaux, France) on 15/07/2020

    Nice boat ride out to the lighthouse. It's worth being early to be on top of the boat though, especially if you tend to get sea sick. The staff was friendly and informative. The last stretch from...
