Around Camping Municipal du Cadoret,
Fouras, Poitou-Charentes (Charente-Maritime)
Fouras lies at the start of a 3-km peninsula bordered by oyster beds, harvested from short piers with nets and winches.
The town centre has two splendid market halls - one selling cheeses, meats, fruit & veg; the other for fish and shellfish - both open every day.
The substantial 17thC Fort Vauban is one of a chain of forts that protected the Charente estuary, particularly La Rochelle, against attack by the Normans, the Dutch and, in this case, the English.
