WALKING

It is possible to walk in the shady pine forest for hours on end and yet encounter only a few people even in peak season. Slightly more popular with the locals is the river path walk from Labenne to Cap Breton which is a delightful evening (or daytime) stroll.
Alternatively wander along the shoreline for hours on end but this time you may bump into the occasional nudist aimlessly wandering in the other direction!
Walking is fun in Charente Maritime and for the really keen walker the foothills of the Pyrenees offer some envigorating exercise and truly spectacular views.
