    • Departing from Royan, come and admire the great curiosities of the Estuary : the Cordouan Lighthouse, the Pointe de Grave, the Côte du Médoc, the Troglodyte Caves of Meschers, the Fort de Suzac, the tip and the lighthouse of Vallières and the Royan Bay.

      Visit the Cordouan lighthouse nicknamed "Versailles of the Seas", 68 meters high with its 301 steps. The first lighthouse classified as a Historic Monument in 1862, it is the only lighthouse at sea in the world still inhabited by keepers and open to visitors. The Cordouan lighthouse is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

      We have been transporting visitors to Cordouan since 1992. The visits are organized in partnership with the SMIDDEST manager of the lighthouse.

    Very good experience today visiting the Cordouan lighthouse with the Mermaid cruise company. Very pleasant on-board staff and pleasant crossing. The visit to the lighthouse is a treat, the building is magnificent and well maintained and what a chance to take the guided tour with a lighthouse keeper, a historian to boot. THANKS

    Okay, two hour cruise. Attentive staff. Too bad for the very little audible sound at the rear, engine noise. We couldn't hear the news very well. 27th. A bit expensive though. The top seats are taken by storm, in the back the same... otherwise interior with noise and dirty windows. Tourist trap print.

    Nice boat ride out to the lighthouse. It's worth being early to be on top of the boat though, especially if you tend to get sea sick. The staff was friendly and informative. The last stretch from...
