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.

If you're wondering what this huge bridge-like structure is, it's a transporter bridge that spans the harbor to move vehicles and people from one bank to the other in a gondola (or transporter ) suspended from a carriage passing under the apron. Initially powered by steam, it now uses electricity. It was recently renovated and can still be used to cross the estuary.
