A signposted bike ride of 9km. Exposed to the sun, the circuit crosses the marsh, its crops and its tons, then approaches the canals and structures until you come to "set foot" in the small fishing port where huts and "carrelets" (small fishing huts) are lined up...

More details
From the Place de la Mairie in St-Sorlin-de-Conac. Go down towards St-Bonnet-sur-Gironde and leave the road at the bend to continue straight ahead: follow the "dead end" to Port Charron. A small road lined with canals leads to the fishing port.
Turn right to reach Port Charron and follow the coastal path to the right along the estuary before going up between marshes and salt meadows at Belineau.
The coastal path continues to the left to reach Port Maubert, the Bouclette n°15 continues straight ahead.
At Belineau turn right and follow the road to the intersection.
Turn right to go back down towards the chimneys (be careful on the bends) and follow the small road over the marshes to St-Sorlin-de-Conac between a kiwi farm and a young oak grove.
Alternative departure from Vitrezay by the coastal path or from St-Bonnet-sur-Gironde by the D145 (be careful to cross two routes at the crossroads of the Vitrezay road and the D145: towards Bouclette 15 by St-Sorlin-de-Conac or towards Petit Niort).
Typical of the shores of the estuary and the Charente coast, if the "carrelet" as we know it today appeared around 1900, it results from a much older tradition. Fishing with plaice is above all a "chance" fishing which could not suffice for subsistence but was a much appreciated food supplement. As the system and its fixing became more complex at the beginning of the 20th century, tile fishing became a practice reserved for the wealthy. In the 1930s, the trend was balanced by the increase in the standard of living and the free time of workers, who cultivated well-being and rest. In the 1950s, with the arrival of new leisure activities, the neglected carrelet deteriorated and met its first detractors for whom it spoiled the landscape. It was then that its defenders emerged and the awareness of a heritage to be preserved.
