An easy stroll along the bay’s piers

Walk out over the water, pause for the view and choose a boat crossing if the mood takes you.

Jetée Thiers and the other piers make simple, low-planning stops between the town and the water. Go at golden hour for changing light, or use a pier as the start of a boat trip. Check current departures and keep the walkway clear for others.

Make it a date

Leave a little room for the weather, the tide and whatever catches your attention along the way.
