In 2018, a new interpretive center was established in Grand-Village-Plage to educate people about eco-construction. Take a fun and interactive tour to learn about construction techniques and the way of life on Oléron Island, both in the past and for the future.
Afterward, enjoy a leisurely walk through the garden and explore a traditional Oléronaise farm. You'll see an authentic home, barns, and wine cellars that give you a simple glimpse into the daily lives of Oléron's residents in the 19th century.
At the participatory construction sites, you can learn traditional skills and discover eco-friendly materials. Explore models, watch videos, listen to testimonials, and engage in various activities to immerse yourself in the world of modern eco-villages.
Whether you're just passing through or planning a construction project on the island, you'll find valuable information on reducing your environmental impact through thoughtful design, bioclimatic techniques, and accessible renewable energies.
Don't forget to explore the oyster city on Oléron Island as well
