Esnandes (French pronunciation: [ɛnɑ̃d]) is a commune in the Charente-Maritime department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in southwestern France.

This small town north of La Rochelle faces the bay of Aiguillon (formerly Gulf Pictons).

[5] To this date, it still retains its Romanesque style from the twelfth century, which is decorated and framed by two booths which form a complete set of reinforcements.

The nave is vaulted with warheads based on columns and form three ships and five spans with flat bed.

The mussel farms of Esnandes (Labellisée Musée de France) reflect the strong local heritage: understanding activity and environment, the House of Mussel Farms offers films, a dynamic and interactive museum and temporary exhibitions (or closely related themes on the region, environment, fisheries, cultural exhibits are conducted jointly with various associations of the township.)

Thus, young and old can follow Mollux, the mascot, throughout the visit (in the form of comics for children) to understand the biology of mold, its environment and its predators, and the production and marketing of the black pearl of our coasts.
