Brouage
| Founded around 1555 by Jacques de Pons, Brouage played a
strategic role in the defence of the coast of Saintonge (the country around
Saintes). Architectural treasures remain from this period and their history will be recounted as you follow one of the many guided tours of the region. Take the time to discover the Living Hall, the European Centre for Military Architecture where an exhibition has been set up around relief models and facsimiles of ancient maps and plans. |
