Boyardville (French pronunciation: [bwajaʁˈvil]) is a district in the town of Saint-Georges-d'Oléron on the eastern part of Oléron Island (Île d'Oléron), Charente-Maritime, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The community has a small beach resort, fishing port, and marina, and its shore is a popular spot for surfing. The name of the district derives from Fort Boyard, a famous Napoleonic ocean fortress located a few kilometres offshore. Materials were stored in Boyardville for construction of the fort, and hundreds of labourers who built it resided in barracks located there. Less known is Fort Galissonière (formerly Fort Napoleon), located in the Saumonards forest. Designed to protect the mouth of the Charente and the arsenal of Rochefort, it lost any military purpose and is now converted into a summer vacation retreat.
