Alternative to the Seudre bridge: the ferry boat
An alternative route to avoid the Seudre bridge
📢 A new cycling alternative is being introduced by the Charente-Maritime department.
From 4 June 2024 to 30 September 2024, a ferry linking the Port of La Cayenne in Marennes and the Port of La Tremblade in La Grève will enable cyclists to cross the Seudre in complete safety, via a secure cycle route.
This new itinerary allows all cycling enthusiasts to avoid crossing the Pont de la Seudre (the official La Vélodyssée route). Crossing the bridge involves a dangerous section with a narrow cycle lane and heavy traffic, particularly in high season.
⚠️ La Vélodyssée therefore invites its travellers to take this alternative route.
The ferry boat runs on demand every day from 9am to 1pm and from 2pm to 7pm.
Bateau passeur, instructions for use :
1️⃣ I check the timetable
2️⃣ I inform the company of my crossing by telephone on 07.73.66.25.94
3️⃣ I go to the ferry boat
4️⃣ I pay the sum of 2 euros per person
5️⃣ I want to make the most of this itinerary and discover the paths of the Seudre.
You can find all the information on the Bateau Passeur website
