APIDAE Tourisme: a collaborative database serving local tourism

APIDAE Tourisme is the 1st national tourist information network, a collaborative tool co-funded by tourism stakeholders in the Charentes region, under the coordination of Charentes Tourisme. This database feeds a large number of tourist sites and media, in particular those of the Châtelaillon-Plage and La Rochelle tourist offices and the Châtelaillon-Plage town hall.

It is used to create, enhance and distribute reliable, up-to-date information on accommodation, activities, restaurants, shops and events.

APIDAE data can be consulted by anyone, giving your establishment greater visibility throughout the Neo-Aquitaine region and on a national scale.
