Beyond fishing, Charente-Maritime is also known for its local cuisine, including fresh seafood, oysters, and mussels. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, such as visiting the famous Vauban fortifications in Saint-Martin-de-Ré, exploring the beaches of Oléron Island, or exploring the region's picturesque villages.
