Description

History Classified as a historical monument since June 14, 1929, it was severely bombed during the Second World War when Marennes was liberated on September 10, 1944. Purchased from the Central Administration of the Domains by the commune of Bourcefranc-le-Chapus, it was entirely restored under the direction of the DRAC in the 1960s. Since 1972, Fort Louvois has housed the Oyster Museum and a permanent exhibition devoted to the history of the fort, including models of fortifications along the Charentaise coast.
