These fishing huts owe their name to a large square fishing net, called the carrelet, which is lowered and raised in the sea by a system of winch or tackle, which lifts the net horizontally using a pulley or of a rope. This fishing system is also regulated by the Departmental Directorate of Maritime Affairs. The technique of plaice fishing consists of placing a bait in the center of the net. This is then lowered into the water and when submerged it is lifted quickly and steadily to get the bait moving. This type of fishing generally takes place at rising tide, in shallow waters, and makes it possible to catch mullet, small sole, crabs, shrimps and even eel depending on the location, as in the estuary of the Charente.

On December 27 and 28, 1999, storm Martin ravaged the region and caused considerable damage to the squares of the Charente coast and the estuaries of the Gironde and the Seudre. It was estimated that more than 200 squares had been destroyed.
From the year 2000, many squares were rebuilt according to very strict rules, materials, colors, surface... We wondered what was going to be done for those of Talmont and Meschers. The decision was made to rebuild the squares.
