Built around its small port on the Seudre estuary, Mornac-sur-Seudre grew into a village shaped by tidal marshes, salt-making and oyster cultivation. The Seudre’s channels lead towards the Atlantic coast of Charente-Maritime, while former salt marshes define the low-lying countryside around the settlement. In the old centre, narrow lanes run between houses and artisans’ workshops to the Romanesque Church of Saint-Pierre and its bell tower. Mornac-sur-Seudre belongs to Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, and its harbour remains closely linked to the region’s oyster trade.
