Spotlight on Le Phare de La Coubre !
Located in the commune of La Tremblade, at the northern end of the Gironde estuary, this lighthouse is a must-see. Ten years after it was built (1895), marine erosion had begun to take its toll, so a breakwater had to be built to try and slow down the advancing waves. Unfortunately crashing waves continued to eat away at the coastline. The lighthouse was moved in 1904 and brought into service on 1 October 1905. Height: 64 m Number of steps: 300 Lamp power: 250 watts Light range: 28 miles (52 km).
Head along the tourist trail and discover one of our region's greatest treasures: La Coubre Forest. This majestic forest covers 4,820 hectares and stretches from Ronce-les-Bains to the La Coubre lighthouse. This state-owned forest is managed by the Office Nationale des Forêts and is mainly home to maritime pines and evergreen oaks. You'll find a variety of animals in this forest (deer, roe deer, wild boar, etc.) and it's the Royannais region's green lungs.
Numerous hiking trails, cycle paths, mountain bike circuits... head off the beaten track and take in breathtaking views of the ocean.
