Meschers-sur-Gironde
Meschers-sur-Gironde is located between Royan and Talmont on the western coast of France, in the Charente-Maritime department, on the northern edge of the Gironde estuary. The section of coast here is known as the 'Cote de Beauté'.
It is the coast and the beaches that attracts most people to Meschers - the sandy stretches of beach are attractively interspersed with rocky headlands and cliffs. The three main beaches are called Nonnes (the main beach), Vergnes (a little to the north) and Suzac.
Meschers also has a small port where there are a number of cafes where you can site and unwind and admire the pleasure boats.
It is also the troglodyte Grottes de Regulus that attracts people. The caves, carved into the chalky rock along the seafront, have served various purposes over the centuries, from grain storage to hiding contraband, and occasionally they have also been used as homes. A visit to the caves will also allow you to appreciate the views across the Gironde estuary.
The nearby Matata caves can also be visited.
The other main historically interesting monument in the town is the church of Saint-Saturnin. Note that the belltower section dates from the 15th century and is much older than the rest of the church (17th century).
