Recordist's notes

Château d'Oléron is the historic capital of the island of Oléron, located on the south-eastern tip of the island. You can't go to Château d'Oléron without visiting its imposing citadel. You'll also be seduced by this authentic village, which comes alive every morning with its daily market. And don't forget to stop off at the artists' and creators' huts on the oyster-farming port, a must-see! Captation : ZOOMF4 + Saturne Microphone by Griffon
