This small town occupies a privileged position on the Marennes Basin. With its 5,000 ha of oyster beds, colorful wooden huts on stilts and picturesque oyster beds, you're sure to be charmed! The locals understood early on that the ocean was a land of riches. Formerly sauniers and fishermen, they became sailors and oyster farmers. So it's hardly surprising that the town has been home to the Lycée de la Mer et du Littoral for over 30 years. Travelers will be delighted to lose themselves in the narrow streets of Vieux Chapus, admire the Saint-Louis church and the famous Fort Louvois, dedicated to coastal protection.
