France’s Atlantic coast is astoundingly rich in maritime history, architecture, good food and wine. The coast is dotted with islands, grand 17th-century forts, lighthouses and untouched cities such as La Rochelle and Rochefort-sur-Mer, all spared from careless development. The wines of Charente are just the thing to drink as you tuck into seafood fresh off the boat, and the sun-kissed villages are alive with cultural festivals throughout the year.
