  • Over the 11th century, a castle in Fouras was erected to control the Estuary of the Charente and for that, a toll was put in place. Key element in the Charente's defense system, Fort Vauban hosts in its donjon the regional history museum, listed "Musée de France". Ten rooms present the town's history, its environment, and - more specifically - its maritime, military and seaside resort past.
