Brouage: a historic town with a rich past
Brouage is an ancient port town that played a major strategic role in the 17th century. Founded in 1555, the town was a major salt trading centre before becoming a military stronghold under the influence of Richelieu. Today, Vauban's perfectly preserved fortifications bear witness to this era, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in history. Strolling along the ramparts, you can admire the vast surrounding marshes and enjoy exceptional panoramic views.
The historic heart of Brouage is a real gem, with its cobbled streets, stone buildings and emblematic monuments such as Saint-Pierre Church and the Halle aux Vivres. Staying in a B&B or B&B in Brouage allows you to get as close as possible to this unique atmosphere, where every street corner tells a piece of history.
A place of nature and relaxation
As well as its remarkable historical heritage, Brouage is surrounded by stunningly beautiful natural landscapes. The salt marshes, once used for the salt trade, now offer an ideal setting for nature lovers. Walking or cycling along the footpaths will reveal a wealth of unspoilt flora and fauna, including rare species of migratory birds.
Nature lovers will also find much to enjoy by exploring the nearby Moëze-Oléron nature reserve. This protected site is a haven for biodiversity and a must-see for birdwatchers. After a day of discovery, what could be better than returning to your holiday rental in Brouage for some well-deserved relaxation?
