Wooden fishing huts on stilts on the Ile Madame in the Charente-Maritime France

---

less well-known than the other islands of the département, the Ile Madame is a unique place. Accessible at low tide, via the ‘cow pass’, discover this minuscule piece of land, practically untouched, located between the estuary of La Charente and the sea. There are a large number of carrelets – wooden huts on stilts for fishing at high tide – on the West coast of the Isle.
