En source L'Houmeau:
An old village, L'Houmeau retains numerous testimonies from its past steeped in history, including the hundred-year-old trees from the town hall park and an old seminar where CREMA (Center for Research on Marine and Aquaculture Ecosystems) has been installed since 1983.

Its narrow streets are reminiscent of those of the Ile de Ré, located just opposite. Its small pebble beach dominated by cliffs also offers a breathtaking view of the elegant curve of the Ile de Ré bridge.

The charm of L'Houmeau is also the small Port du Plomb. A typical oyster port with whitewashed houses that the village shares, via a wooden walkway, with the neighboring town of Nieul-sur-Mer.
Fr source l'Houmeau :
Village ancien, l'Houmeau conserve de nombreux témoignages de son passé chargé d'histoire, dont les arbres centenaires du parc de la Mairie et un ancien séminaire où est installé depuis 1983 le CREMA (Centre de Recherche sur les Ecosystème Marins et Aquacoles).

Ses ruelles étroites ne sont pas sans rappeler celles de l'île de Ré, située juste en face. Sa petite plage de galets dominée par des falaises offre d'ailleurs une vue imprenable sur l'élégante courbe du pont de l'île de Ré.

Le charme de l'Houmeau, c'est aussi le petit Port du Plomb. Un port ostréicole typique aux maisons blanchies à la chaux que le village partage, par une passerelle en bois, avec la commune voisine de Nieul-sur-Mer.
