The culinary specialities of Saint-Georges-de-Didonne

The most discerning palates are catered for in the fine restaurants of this seaside resort. All you have to do is choose an establishment hired by holidaymakers and indulge in the best culinary specialities in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Start your lunch or dinner with a farmhouse salad, a plate of langoustines or a fish soup. For the main course, local restaurateurs offer pan-fried cod with aniseed juice and succulent fillet of bull with morel mushrooms. Other emblematic recipes using local produce include eel chowder and boiled eel. Have you got any room left in your stomach at the end of the meal? The saintongeais cake popular in the Royannais region should delight you if you like almonds!

Activities in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne

As soon as the sun comes out, set course for the Grande Conche. Much more than just a beach, it's an institution for the people of Charente! It is bordered on both sides by two limestone cliffs and offers a myriad of services to satisfy the desires of its visitors: restaurants, beach club, parasol hire, kindergarten etc...

Where there's an Atlantic Ocean, there's water sports! No need to master the basics of any discipline to have fun in these dreamy settings. You can try your hand at sand yachting, stand-up paddling or sea kayaking in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. Some people make the most of their holidays to relax. We recommend a visit to the thalassotherapy centre at Royan (Royan). They certainly won't say no to a hammam session or Californian modelling. Saint-Georges-de-Didonne is also epitomised by the beauty and variety of its vegetation. A stroll through the Parc de l'Estuaire is all it takes to appreciate the richness of this natural heritage. It's a breathtaking experience that we particularly recommend for parents accompanied by their children. The breathtaking panorama from the top of the watchtower will not leave you unmoved during your stay!

Destinations around Saint-Georges-de-Didonne

When staying on the Côte de Beauté, you may be tempted to take a trip to other tourist destinations such as Vaux-sur-Mer and Saint-Palais-sur-Mer. If you're one of them, you'll love the charm of the Concié and Conseil beaches! Nature lovers can also stop off at the sumptuous Île d'Oléron. The Port de la Cotinière and the remains of the Château d'Oléron are among the sights to visit in this admittedly touristy but still well-protected area.

We encourage you to set course for Saintes, an exceptional commune just a few dozen minutes' drive from your holiday rental in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne. You'll have plenty to do, as its heritage is incredibly rich. It is embodied, for example, by the Abbaye aux Dames and the Arch of Germanicus.
