The Ernest Cognacq Museum occupies the Hotel de Clerjotte, featuring exhibitions about Île de Ré's maritime heritage across multiple themed rooms and galleries.
Built between 1470 and 1480 by Louis Clergeat, the building served as an arsenal until the 20th century before its transformation into a museum.
