During your stay at Domaine de Fanélie , here are some must-sees to discover:

  • Ferry Battery : At Ferry Point, explore the remains of this historic 17th-century defense line. A bronze cannon is still visible. It's a 30-minute walk from the Château d'Ô path.
  • Leroux Beach : A quiet, family-friendly beach of 100 m of blond sand. Less than a 3-minute drive or 10-minute walk away, you can enjoy lunch at one of the local restaurants. Don't miss the coconut sorbet vendor in the afternoon.
