At the far point of the island of Oléron, called la pointe de Chassiron, you find a great spot for observing seabirds!
Pointe de Chassiron is located at the end of the island of Oléron, and probably the most interesting place for the observation of pelagic birds (= seawatch), like Sümsükkuþu, yaygın alk or even Balear Yelkovanı.
The best time to observe seabirds, like any bird for that matter, is from dawn until noon. The only really interesting period for the seawatch is fall. You will then be able to observe a very large diversity of open sea birds, such as: Boz kaz, Yosun kazi, Pufla, Kara ördek, Tarakdiş, Kulaklı batağan, Bahri, Büyük Korsanmartı, yaygın alk, Usturagaga, çatal kuyruklu martı, Karabağ martı, Küçük martı, Akdeniz Martısı, Küçük gümüþ martý, Kuzey Gümüş Martı, Gümüş martı, Karasırtlı Martı, Büyük Karasırtlı Martı, Küçük sumru, Karagagalı Sumru, Sumru, Kýzýlgerdanlý dalgýç, Buz Dalgýcý, Fýrtýnakýrlangýcý, Balear Yelkovanı, Sümsükkuþu and finally Tepeli Karabatak.
During migration, it is also possible to observe a large number of passerines and Anatidae.
NB: a Kara Sığırcık has been nesting for several years under the tiles of the most advanced house with Sığırcık.

Français: Située au bout de l'île d'Oléron, la pointe de Chassiron est probablement le lieu le plus intéressant pour l'observation des oiseaux pélagiques (=seawatch), comme le Sümsükkuþu , le yaygın alk ou encore le Balear Yelkovanı .
Le meilleur moment pour observer les oiseaux marins, comme tout oiseau d'ailleurs, c'est dès l'aube, et jusqu'à midi. La seule période réellement intéressante pour le seawatch, c'est l'automne. Vous pourrez alors observer une très grand diversité d'oiseaux de pleine mer, comme :Boz kaz , Yosun kazi , Pufla , Kara ördek , Tarakdiş , Kulaklı batağan , Bahri , Büyük Korsanmartı , yaygın alk , Usturagaga , çatal kuyruklu martı , Karabağ martı , Küçük martı , Akdeniz Martısı , Küçük gümüþ martý , Kuzey Gümüş Martı , Gümüş martı , Karasırtlı Martı , Büyük Karasırtlı Martı , Küçük sumru , Karagagalı Sumru , Sumru , Kýzýlgerdanlý dalgýç , Buz Dalgýcý , Fýrtýnakýrlangýcý , Balear Yelkovanı , Sümsükkuþu et enfin Tepeli Karabatak .
Lors de le migration, il est aussi possible d'observer un grand nombre de passereaux et d'anatidés.
NB: un Kara Sığırcık niche depuis plusieurs années sous les tuiles de la maison la plus à la pointe avec des Sığırcık .
It is possible to park in the parking lot at the tip. You can visit the site on foot. You can also visit it by bike but it will be useless because the principle is to remain static behind your telescope.

Français: Il est possible de se garer sur le parking de la pointe. On peut visiter le site à pied. On peut aussi le visiter a vélo mais cela ne servira à rien car le principe est de rester statique derrière sa longue vue...
