Since 2015 my Vw Combis have become yours for a weekend of a week or more to walk around and camp in total autonomy, with a crew in the heart of nature.
PoutPout this Combi was born like me in 1980 and has been under my wing for almost 20 years. It awaits you at the edge of the ocean on the island of Oléron.
This Volkswagen Van is restored and made reliable by enthusiasts: you are therefore serenely free. All in the vintage atmosphere of the 80s.
Like all Combis, they have round headlights and a rear engine which gives good soundproofing and allows 60cm more interior fittings.
From the island of Oléron and surrounding towns, I offer several models of Combis all fitted out for 4 to 5 people; gasoline or turbodiesel.
EQUIPMENT :
Take only what you need! The van is rented with a full set of cooking utensils and crockery.
5 beds:
- Bed linen on request

- LED lighting with dimmer and color.
- water tank (50l) and gas filled on your arrival.
- a powerful autonomous heating on the tank for winter nights in the mountains (the combi will reach 20°c in about 10 minutes).
DEPARTURE :
To be seen together according to the periods and availability for the airports or train station of the cities of Poitiers - Royan - Rochefort - Bordeaux... but I would especially recommend the island of Oléron...
Along the French coast or inland I have many nice sites to recommend. Thanks to my knowledge of the area and an application specially made to find nice places to sleep in a converted van without necessarily having to go camping.
ISLAND OF OLERON:
The island is a pearl of the French Atlantic coast, a little bigger and wilder than its neighbor the island of Ré and benefiting from a microclimate guaranteeing you the most constant sunshine on the Atlantic coast.
Being the largest island in France, Oléron is very pleasant to discover in a Combi: you will find many activities there, a heritage, a specific fauna and flora, the oyster route and its marshes, its large Australian-style beaches, surf spots (+ my advice depending on the winds, tides etc.), many concerts and a nice nightlife.
MOTORIZATION:
a choice :
- completely rebuilt engine: the famous Aircooled 2000cc 4-cylinder flat twin-carb engine of the same type as the Porsche 914; very fun and robust, it offers a very beautiful sound and a smooth ride that is much appreciated by connoisseurs.
- Volkswagen diesel or turbo diesel + economical engine.
Possibility to rent surfboards, bikes, electric mountain bikes, mountain bikes, bike racks etc...
Happy vintage effect guaranteed! Remember to make a sign when you come across a beetle combi or an old collection..
