The stronghold of Brouage is a former salt trading port named Jacopolis-sur-Brouage, which became a Catholic war port wanted by Cardinal Richelieu who named it Brouage in 1627 to compete with the Huguenot stronghold of La Rochelle. Brouage is also considered to be perhaps the birthplace of the geographer Samuel de Champlain who participated in the founding and colonization of New France, and who is the founder of the city of Quebec in Canada. A military port on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean until the beginning of the 18th century, the town is today inland and surrounded by marshes. Attention: inside the citadel the streets are almost exclusively paved.

One could also leave the city by other passages: two posterns, the curtain of the sea, two underground ports in the sides of the bastions of La Brèche and Hiers for navigation by boat in the ditches. There are two powder magazines, that of François d'Espinay de Saint-Luc with four flying buttresses contained 30 tons of powder, that of La Brèche, built by Vauban in 1692, contained 20 tons.

The village of Hiers built on an old island in the Santon archipelago. At that time, the village was an island in the middle of the Gulf of Saintonge, a gulf which will then fill in over the centuries to become nothing more than a marsh today. The island is part of an archipelago with other islets such as those of Guilletterie, Montboileau, Fremailloux and Érablais. Due to its relatively high altitude allowing to control navigation between the mainland and the island of Oléron, a castle and a priory were built from the eleventh century which depended on the seigneury of Broue. The monks of the Saint-Hilaire church were already exploiting the salt. Jacopolis (Brouage) was founded in 1555 on an old deposit of ballast forming bulges of pebbles and mud. Brouage was the outer port of the village of Hiers, it was first designed without military intentions but to be a trading center. Ten years after its foundation, the city receives a visit from Charles IX. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiers-Brouage#Les_origines
