Mornac-sur-Seudre

In a peaceful, sheltered marshland environment, Mornac-sur-Seudre is an old fishing village interwoven with canals.

Today, the local industry is focused on oyster farms and salt extraction. The waterfront village is listed as one of France’s Plus Beaux Villages because of its charming old-world ambience.
