Military fort whose construction lasted more than half a century and which was never finally used for its intended defensive purposes, Fort Boyard is now famous for hosting the game show that bears its name since 1990. If the interior of the fort cannot be visited, it is possible to get as close as possible to the building by means of guided cruises. These can be carried out from many ports of Charente-Maritime and Vendée, including Fouras, La Rochelle, Boyardville on Île d’Oléron, or Rochefort. The crossing is often an opportunity to visit the nearby island of Aix, whose history is closely linked to that of the fort.
