The nature site and oyster farm of Fort-Royer on the coast in the south of Boyardville, stretches over a zone of 10 hectares remarkable for its flora, wildlife and the beauty of its landscapes and extraordinary views over the Ile d’Aix and the Charente straits. A living example of traditional oyster culture, the site includes a village of around 40 huts, a third of which are still in use.

A local association organises visits to explore this marvellous natural environment, and learn about the profession of oyster farming in the Marennes-Oléron basin.
