Take off from the airfield of Saint-Pierre-d’Oléron for a scenic getaway between sky, sea, and land. Your flight begins above the marshes of Oléron, once used for salt harvesting and now home to oyster farms where oysters are cultivated and refined in the Perrotine channel. The journey continues toward Île Madame, facing the Charente-Maritime coast, marking the entrance to both the Charente River and Île d’Aix. From there, you will head to the famous Fort Boyard and admire this remarkable structure envisioned by Vauban—a project that demanded years of effort and endured countless challenges, all of which your pilot will share during the flight.
Your helicopter then sets course for the northern tip of Oléron, where the Antioch Lighthouse and the iconic Chassiron Lighthouse stand. Chassiron, instantly recognizable by its black-and-white bands, is the oldest lighthouse in France still in operation. This aerial adventure offers a captivating blend of history, maritime heritage, and magnificent island scenery, making it an unforgettable way to discover the beauty of Oléron and its surroundings.
