Charente-Maritime is a department in the French region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, on the country's west coast. Named "Charente-Inférieure" after the lower course of the Charente, it was renamed Charente-Maritime on 4 September 1941, during World War II, reflecting its Atlantic coast identity. The major communes are La Rochelle, Saintes, Rochefort, Royan, Aytré, Périgny, and Tonnay-Charente.
