geography

Saint-Trojan-les-Bains is the southernmost of the seaside resorts on the Île d'Oléron . It is surrounded by the sea on three sides (the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Pertuis de Maumusson bay to the south and east) and is bordered by Le Grand-Village-Plage and Le Château-d'Oléron to the north . The west of the municipality consists of an extensive pine forest behind a long sandy beach; the settlement itself lies in the meteorologically more protected east.

history

During the revolution , the place was renamed “La Montagne”, although there is no elevation here that would justify the name. In 1793 it was renamed to Saint-Trojean, and in 1898 to Saint-Trojan-les-Bains. In 1949, the Le Grand-Village-Plage settlement in the north was separated.
