An ideal map encompassing coastline, islands, and marshes

The IGN TOP75 Île de Ré, Île d’Oléron, and Marais Poitevin map covers an area particularly popular with hikers, cyclists, and curious travelers. It brings together three distinct landscapes: the open landscapes of Île de Ré, the forests and beaches of Île d’Oléron, and the peaceful canals of the Marais Poitevin.

This map is useful for planning a trip to Charente-Maritime, as well as for organizing excursions around La Rochelle, Rochefort, Marans, Saint-Martin-de-Ré, Saint-Pierre-d’Oléron, or Coulon.

Its 1:75,000 scale provides a broad overview of the region. This is practical for connecting different areas, choosing your stops, and identifying major access points before setting off.

Hiking, cycling, and exploring the Atlantic coast

This map is ideal for outdoor activities. It helps you plan walks, bike rides, family outings, or multi-day discovery itineraries.

On Île de Ré, it allows you to visualize villages, salt marshes, beach access points, and coastal routes. On Île d’Oléron, it helps you locate forests, harbors, trails, and secondary roads. In the Marais Poitevin, it becomes a valuable tool for understanding the layout of the canals, villages, and natural areas.

It also highlights information useful to travelers: roads, trails, points of interest, gentle terrain, natural areas, and tourist landmarks.

A practical map for planning your trip

The great advantage of this TOP75 map is that it covers a fairly large area without requiring multiple maps. It allows you to easily switch from a cycling trip on Île de Ré to a hike on Oléron, or a walk in the Marais Poitevin.

Finally, this paper map perfectly complements a GPS track or a hiking guidebook. It provides an overview, helps in improvising alternative routes, and allows for a better understanding of the distances between sites.
