Mornac-sur-Seudre Fishing Port

A Medieval Oyster Village on the Seudre

Mornac-sur-Seudre is a small Charente-Maritime commune built around its port de pêche and a maze of medieval lanes. The camera captures the heart of this listed village, where artisans' workshops and white houses lined with hollyhocks ring the historic harbor.

The Seudre Estuary and Salt Marshes

The port sits on the left bank of the Seudre, on the edge of the Arvert peninsula. Tidal channels weave through the marshes of the Marennes-Oléron basin, a landscape shaped by centuries of oyster farming and salt harvesting.

One of the Plus Beaux Villages de France

Classified among the most beautiful villages of France, Mornac belongs to the « Villes et métiers d'art » and « Villages de pierres et d'eau » networks. Its Romanesque church of Saint-Pierre and the remnants of the barons' castle overlook the surrounding wetlands.
