Description

The town's history dates back to the Middle Ages, when monks arrived on the island of Oleron to exploit the salt and vineyards. A very important seigniory at the time, the village would later become a particularly popular place for wealthy merchants. During the 19th century, a number of vast and beautiful mansions were built, surrounded by gardens and large parks.
