On the occasion of its 100th issue, the departmental magazine of Charente-Maritime presents a special edition focused on the department's history. This anniversary is marked by the publication of 100 photographs illustrating the major transformations that have shaped the current territory, from the Atlantic coasts to the towns and villages of Aunis and Saintonge.
Since 1941, when Charente-Inférieure became Charente-Maritime, the department has undergone numerous changes. The development of road and port infrastructure, the rise of tourism, the preservation of natural spaces, and social advancements have left their mark over the decades. This anniversary edition highlights the significant events and projects that have contributed to shaping the department as it is today.
This milestone also serves as an invitation to look towards the future. Facing the challenges of ecological transition, climate change adaptation, support for the most vulnerable populations, and the maintenance of local services, the Department reaffirms its commitment to its residents.
