The Fouras peninsula, situated at the mouth of the Charente, stretches over 4 km with its 5 fine sandy beaches as well as its 3 harbours protected from the swell of the sea by the islands of Aix, Oléron and Ré. This sea-side resort, reputed for bathing in the XIXth cenury, is planted with green oaks and pines and offers its visitors a peaceful, natural haven.  Opposite the south beach and overlooking the ocean, the Residence nestling in a little creek, surrounded on one side by the fortifications of the Tour Vauban and on the other by the landing stages which jut out into the sea, is just 500 m from the town centre. The very varied apartments (some of them have a mezzanine), ranging from the studio apartment for 2/3 pers to the 3-roomed apartment for 7/8 pers, are all fully equipped: kitchenette (microwave, dishwasher, fridge and electric hotplate), bathroom (mainly) or shower with toilet, television (with charge), balcony or loggia.  The following are at your disposal: outdoor, non-heated swimming pool, open from mid-May to the end of September, paddling pool, a launderette (with charge) and a free outdoor car park or fee-paying secure car park.
