Near the mouth of the Charente, on the neck Of land formed by that tortuous stream, as it approaches the sea, there were several villages and hamlets where a number of our Huguenot families originated. One of them, Port des Barques, has disappeared entirely from the map and the gazetteer. Three others, Saint Froult, Moise and Soubise, are Obscure and decaying places, of four, five and six hundred inhabit ants. Saint Nazaire alone, with a population of some fourteen hundred souls, shows any degree Of vitality.
