Charron, Fishing port in Charente-Maritime, France.
The port of Charron stands at the mouth of the Sèvre Niortaise river, bordered by the Bay of Aiguillon and the Pertuis Breton.
A Cistercian abbey was established in 1191 by Richard II of England, followed by the construction of a fortress in 1360 to protect the Sèvre entrance.
The municipality hosts the annual Moul'Stock festival, a free musical event that celebrates local seafood products.
The town has 2,014 residents and is located 14 kilometers from La Rochelle, accessible via departmental roads.
The mussel production in Charron follows strict quality standards established in 1995 for the 'La Charron' mussel.
