The majestic fortifications of Vauban, the Roman treasures of Saintonge,
the charming castles and brightly-cloloured houses of the islands…
The heritage of Charente-Maritime covers all ages and recounts the history of its people from the humblest to the most noble, the religions, the wars, the pilgrimages and everyday life from the neolithic era to the Roman occupation, from the middle ages to the Renaissance and to our own lifetimes.
To see:
Fort Chapus, the citadels of the Ile de Ré and the Ile d'Oléron,
Brouage, the monuments of La Rochelle, Rochefort and Saintes.
