Anse des Anglais
✨ Hidden gem
Anse des Anglais — 'the English Cove' — is a sheltered anchorage off the Fouras peninsula where you drop the hook and take in the wide estuary views of the Charente mouth. The name alone hints at a history of Anglo-French rivalry along this stretch of coast, and the nearby Fort Vauban in Fouras-les-Bains backs that up. From here, the Île d'Aix is just a short hop away, making this a great staging point before exploring that car-free island.
