Accompanied by a guide, you will retrace the journey taken by convicts upon their arrival at the port, before setting off on a one-way trip.
Let us follow the route taken by convicts from their arrival at the port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré to the citadel, before setting off as convicts on a one-way journey to French Guiana or New Caledonia.
During this tour, we will also discuss the fortification system developed by Séré de Rivières in the 19th century.
