Lovely village on the coast, with some delicious bakery-cafés and a historic chapel inviting for a stop. Some people come to visit the World War II graves near the chapel.

La Sauzaie

Highlight • Structure

In brightly painted wood or simple: the traditional fisherman's huts on stilts can be quite elaborate along this north shore of Fouras.

Fouras

Highlight • Settlement

Fouras is a city full of charm, located at the mouth of the Charente. It extends over four kilometers and has five beaches to cool off. Fouras is protected from the ocean swells by three islands: Aix, Oléron and Ré. The Fumée pier allows you to reach the first!

Fort Vauban

Highlight • Castle

Overlooking the Grande Plage of Fouras-les-Bains, you cannot miss this gigantic structure: Fort Vauban. From the 11th century, the castellany of Fouras owed its growth to the taxes that the lords of Rochefort levied on boats using the Charente. In the 15th century, in place of the castle, destroyed during the War of Religion, a 30 meter high keep was built to monitor the sea from the top of its terrace.
It was during the construction of the Rochefort Arsenal that the keep became the fort we know today. It then becomes a centerpiece of the defense system of the approaches to the Charente in order to prevent entry towards Rochefort.
