Experience the friendliness of châtelaillonnaise!

Châtelaillon’s conviviality is a reflection of its markets: generous, warm and authentic! From the beach to the downtown cafés, people take the time to meet and mingle, laugh and share. Simply being together! That’s what vacations are all about.

Everyday pleasures

In Châtelaillon, conviviality is all about the little pleasures that add rhythm to everyday life and make vacations even more enjoyable! Strolling along the Rue du Marché early in the morning? Let yourself be tempted by a coffee break to get the day off to a good start and chat with the locals.

Did you say local?

Head to the market stalls to discover a festival of 100% Charentais specialities. It’s beautiful, it’s fresh, and it’s grown with love by local producers! Immerse yourself in the cheerful atmosphere of the colorful stalls and fill your baskets.

Packed basket, successful picnic!

Gather your friends, lay your tablecloth on the sand and share the delights of the market. Wine, fruit, vegetables and cakes – Châtelaillon’s conviviality has it all! And the ocean view doesn’t spoil a thing…

When you think ocean, you think seafood.

While the oyster remains the queen of the plate, mussels and other whelks have not said their last word! Young and old alike, the whole family can enjoy an iodized lunch with their feet in the sand.

All these moments contribute to the conviviality of châtelaillonnaise!

Great moments of sharing

It’s just a short step from small moments to big ones!

The Casino rooftop is the place to be on a summer’s evening, chilling out in front of an incomparable sea view. The sea spray, the starry skies and the DJ sets are just the thing to get you in the mood.

Châtelaillon’s conviviality also knows how to be quieter… A cosier atmosphere this time, with a good cup of coffee and the reading of your newspaper every morning in the revamped Châtelaillon media library.

What about the kids? They can develop their creativity thanks to a wide choice of activities at the Beauséjour center. New friends guaranteed! For parents, it’s a chance to discover the Châtelaillon racecourse and enjoy the thrill of horse racing together.

Whether you’re with family or friends, the resort is the perfect place to enjoy the simple pleasures of a vacation.
