We came across the Dolmen de Pierre Levée de Soubise at Brétignolles-sur-Mer, Tine well wrapped up to face the elements.
On the island we drove to see the Passage du Gois on which at low tide you can drive across to the mainland. The slippery road warning sign looks a little odd here.
The island is a haven for birds, and with so few people about they have the beach to themselves. 
Maybe not as long or high as the bridge to the Ile de Ré but it is almost as impressive (and free).
Tine chose our route back to La Tranche via Commequiers, a very impressive medieval castle, complete with moat. Sadly we couldn't explore within the walls but it seems there's plenty of activity there in the summer (http://www.amisduchateau.com/
