Espérance Beach

Highlight • Beach

Depending on the tide, the name may be wishful thinking, but the beach can be nice when the water covers rocks and silt.

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!

Villa La Jetée

Highlight • Other

The villa "La Jetée", also known as "Château Bugeau", was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Carried out by the architect Cotton, the construction was completed in 1903.

Today, this remarkable home is private. Its owner, Marie Jaubert agreed to host a team from France 3 Poitou Charentes in summer 2018 to let people know a little more about this architectural treasure which has been listed as a Historic Monument since 2007.

The building is made up of two contiguous rectangular blocks, against which two towers lean: a square tower facing the sea serving as a belvedere and housing the entrance porch; a round corbelled tower on the back serving as a stairwell.

The France 3 Poitou Charentes report on the villa “La Jetée” will tell you a lot more about this jewel and its setting
