A posterboard in the town shows the original layout of the walls, the roads, the buildings, and the waterways around the town of Brouage. Samuel de Champlain lived here part of the time, and this was where he went to church (for those of you who aren't up on Canadian history, he was one of the founders of Quebec). The church still exists, and in the preceeding photo you can see the toweer in the middle of the town.
