Located on a peninsula that stretches over 4km opposite the Ile d’Aix, Ile de Ré and Oléron, Fouras went through strong development at the beginning of the last century thanks to the State railways. The fashion for sea baths quickly transformed this little old fishing village into a very popular seaside resort.
Superb houses
Even today, Fouras contains magnificent residences. These superb villas from the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries dominate the contours of the peninsula and line the large wooded park at the heart of Fouras - an architectural heritage that gives the commune an incomparable style. Fouras has 5 beaches and 3 harbours.
Sea produce too
Half-way between Rochefort and La Rochelle, Fouras is also a major centre for oyster and mussel culture. The warm currents that cross the far point favour the growth of oysters and mussels. Produce of high quality to consume right here, opposite the ocean, surrounded by these splendid buildings, maritime pines and holly oaks.
