Travel guide Fouras 
Fouras : The Michelin guide review
This family-oriented seaside resort, typical of the lifestyle and atmosphere on the Charente coast, is a stone’s throw from the Ile d’Aix, the little harbour, the old castle fortified by Vauban and the casino. A walk through the woods full of green oaks, tamarisks and pine trees is a must before heading to one of its sandy beaches. You can explore the oyster farms, beaches, mudflats and all along the rocky coastline on one of the tours leaving from the fortified peninsula.
