nigkar Posted January 21 #1 Share Posted January 21 Just wandering if any Ambassador cruiser has visited the port of Le Verdon, France. Finding it hard to find any positive information on this port. Does Ambassador provide a shuttle service to the towns of Le Verdon or Soulac-sur mer. I believe it’s difficult to find a taxi or any public transportation. Is there anywhere to walk to. We will be at the port for 12 hours, and we usually do our own thing. What did you do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnia 432 Posted January 21 #2 Share Posted January 21 According to https://www.whatsinport.com/Le-Verdon-sur-Mer.htm “The Cruise ship dock at le Verdon is about two miles/3.4 km from the village and is not served by either bus or train. 90 % of the passenger will opt for a cruise organized excursion to Bordeaux. This port is difficult to do on your own. There are no taxis, the only way off the ship on ones own is by ferry to Royan, which is at least a 75 minute walk away. Check with your cruise line if shuttles to the ferry will be provided.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnia 432 Posted January 21 #3 Share Posted January 21 We are going there with Ambassador too. No excursions available yet, but we will either get a shuttle to Bordeaux and follow a GPSMyCity guide, or do a DIY walk in the port area. In my planning notes, I have put the following - Le Verdon coastal walk to points of interest Points of Interest - Le Verdon Saint Nicolas lighthouse Grave lighthouse Cordouan lighthouse (rocky islet at sea) Pointe de Grave Church of Notre-Dame du Bon Secours et de Saint-Louis Town Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnia 432 Posted January 22 #7 Share Posted January 22 We don’t sail until September, so any information you glean on shuttles, excursions etc would be greatly appreciated. we have not sailed with Ambassador before, so are keen to hear your experiences.

devolve Posted February 6 #9 Share Posted February 6 We did this port stop with another cruise line, it is a pleasant sea side town. We enjoyed strolling around in the sunshine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigkar Posted February 7 Author #10 Share Posted February 7 Thanks for the reply. it’s the 1st positive news I’ve read. Is the marina close by ? Did you eat in any of the restaurants ? are there restaurants in the area ? I’m hoping it will be a nice day, so we can do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
