Châtelaillon (or Châtelaillon-Plage) doesn't boast any culinary specialities to speak of, it's nonetheless a popular destination for lovers of good food! Its maritime terroir is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for its top chefs. You can try hake fillet, scallops and cod steak with satay. You'll find different but equally tasty recipes on the menus of the best restaurants in the area. We're thinking, for example, of Chaudrée and Embeurrée de chou, a vegetable speciality popular in the Aunis and the isle of Ré. The region's culinary heritage also shines thanks to its desserts, such as the Millas charentais and the Merveille.
Make the most of your stay in Charente-Maritime to see the famous Fort Boyard with your own eyes.
Once nicknamed the "Fort of Uselessness" by the local population, this monument built in the 19th century is now known for being the filming location for the TV game show of the same name. This stone vessel can be approached on a short boat cruise departing from La Rochelle.
We then invite you to push open the gates of the Châtelaillon racecourse. It opened its gates in the Belle Époque and today remains a must-see venue for equestrian life in the department. You can watch numerous races and enjoy a gourmet menu in its panoramic restaurant. If you want to get away from it all, why not try thalassotherapy? With its outdoor Jacuzzi, hammam, sauna and aquagym pool, the La Rochelle establishment promises moments of relaxation the like of which you have rarely experienced. Swimming and sunbathing are two other must-do activities at Châtelaillon. Supervised during the summer season, the Grande Plage stretches for more than 2 km. Both ends of the site are popular with sailing, kite-surfing and windsurfing enthusiasts. Be careful, diving is only possible at high tide! The Boucholeurs beach is a good alternative for couples looking for privacy. For fun and colour, try your hand at beach volleyball. Training sessions are available for beginners and experienced players alike. Tournaments are also organised every Friday afternoon.
It only takes half an hour by car to reach Rochefort from your holiday rental in Châtelaillon. On the one hand, this destination arouses the curiosity of tourists with the Hermione, a ship turned into a museum. On the other hand, it attracts visitors thanks to the richness of its Musée des Commerces d'Autrefois. It allows visitors to rediscover the charm of the small shops of the 20th century.
La Rochelle's cultural offering is not to be outdone, with various museums of great interest, such as the one devoted to automata. When it comes to historical heritage, you won't want to miss the Grand Tours, buildings dating from the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries.
