Meschers sur Gironde, a old fishermen village , has become a nice play to stay with its small beaches, far away from crowds in Royan and surroundings.
The city is well known for its magnificent cliffs, its troglodyte caves, its typical small beaches, and its family lifestyle.
It is the gateway to the Gironde Estuary, the beauty coast and is ideally located a stone’s throw from Talmont sur Gironde, and Saint-Georges-de-Didonne.
You can enjoy the small beaches framed by the cliffs, its family amusement park, its small daily market in summer …
But do not leave without having taken a tour of the carrelets, these small huts hanging on the cliff and overlooking the Gironde estuary, which were once used for fishing.
Near the cliffs: Choose the Boulevard de la Falaise, where the Matata and Regulus caves are located.
Near the port, where there are a few bars and restaurants. You can also discover the cliffs by boarding the boat.
In the city center where you can enjoy the market and the shops on the main street
Near the beaches, where you can enjoy the calm of the forest, and the proximity of St Georges de Didonne

They are made up of cavities dug by water but also by man, including troglodyte caves. It is possible to visit these caves: the caves of Matata, and the caves of Régulus.

The Carrelets are fishermen’s huts at Meschers sur Gironde placed on the wooden pillars, in height so as to be able to use a square fishing net. This term designates both nets and huts on stilts, also called fisheries. They are arranged along the coast, most often near cliffs or rocks.
