For thousands of years, the advantages of its site - confluence of rivers, deep ria - have favored human settlement, as evidenced by the megaliths found in the area. The first fortress dates back to the time of Alain Barbe-Torte, Duke of Brittany. A city grew up on high ground, protected by this defensive site. From its port, terre-neuvas set sail for deep-sea fishing. To protect it from English or Dutch appetites, its coasts were defended and cannons were placed at La Noëveillard... This explains the fortress and castle you'll find on your sightseeing tours of Pornic!
