The community has a small beach resort, fishing port, and marina, and its shore is a popular spot for surfing. The name of the district derives from Fort Boyard, a famous Napoleonic ocean fortress located a few kilometres offshore. Materials were stored in Boyardville for construction of the fort, and hundreds of labourers who built it resided in barracks located there. Less known is Fort Galissonière (formerly Fort Napoleon), located in the Saumonards forest. Designed to protect the mouth of the Charente and the arsenal of Rochefort, it lost any military purpose and is now converted into a summer vacation retreat. (en) Boyardville est un village dépendant de la commune de Saint-Georges-d'Oléron, dans la partie orientale de l'île d'Oléron. Cette petite station balnéaire est également un port de pêche et de plaisance. Le nom de Boyardville dérive du célèbre fort Boyard, situé à quelques kilomètres au large. C'est en effet à Boyardville qu'étaient entreposés les matériaux destinés à la construction du fort, et qu'étaient implantés les baraquements des ouvriers qui travaillaient sur ce chantier. Moins connu, le Fort de la Galissonière (anciennement Fort Napoléon) est situé dans la forêt des Saumonards. Conçu pour protéger l'embouchure de la Charente et l'arsenal de Rochefort, il a perdu toute vocation militaire et est désormais reconverti en colonie. (fr) |
