Île d’Aix: no cars on the island
Visitors’ cars are not allowed on Île d’Aix, where people get around on foot, by bike or by horse-drawn carriage. A hire car is only useful to reach the Fouras pier from La Rochelle station or airport, or to explore the Charente coast; that is the only purpose of the comparison tool below.
