La Tremblade: Where The Nautical and The Woodland Co-Exists
La Tremblade, France, with the abundance of aspen trees – which is Tremblers in French, has earned this small harbor town in the southwest region of the country its own name. Although it is the seaside that invites many tourists to Le Tremblade, the town is actually 78% dominated by dense forests. There are less than 5000 inhabitants in the town which makes it peaceful, and it is also home to a few interesting historical landmarks.
Best Time to Visit
Partly cloudy and comfortable all-year round, it is recommended to visit La Tremblade, France any time of the year. It is the middle of the year when tourism is at its peak in town. But is also when the locals celebrate Feast of the Old Greements in July and Feast of the Sea in August. If you want to visit during these months, prepare for the huge crowd and expect higher La Tremblade hotel rates.
What to Do & Area Attractions
As a harbor town, one of the most visited landmarks in La Tremblade is the La Coubre lighthouse which has stood 64 meters high since the 1800s and has been listed a historic monument in 2015. A few walks away from the lighthouse is the Plage de la Coubre, a fine-sanded beach open to the public. Another interesting spot nearby is the Forest of La Coubre where you can go hiking but stay safe as red deer and wild boars may sometimes show up on the trails.
Hotel Phoebus, Le Heron Cendre, and L’Ostreale are three of the best La Tremblade hotel choices you can reserve, as they are all situated near the beach and the town proper.
