Châtelaillon: one day, a thousand ideas!

Do you live less than 2 hours from the resort? Do as many people from La Rochelle and Bordeaux do and choose Châtelaillon for a day out! Whatever the season, your tastes or your budget, there’s always a great programme for you. Let our experience inspire you and get some great ideas!

In spring, the seafront is the place to be

It’s been a long week and everyone is delighted with this wonderful escape to Châtelaillon! With trainers for the older children and bikes for the younger ones, we set off on a 2-hour ride along the sea shore. Between two pedal strokes, the whole tribe breathed in the pure, iodised sea air. A real treat!

Lunch break?

At Bain des Fleurs, the resort’s historic crêperie. Facing the ocean, everyone can pick their favourite from the menu. A springtime, an Andalusian and a chef’s martinette! And when it’s time for dessert, no-one can resist one last sweet treat…

In the afternoon, it’s off to the beach where the kids have the time of their lives. With snowshoes, balls and giant sandcastles, the sand becomes an inexhaustible playground.

Until high tide! It’s time to join friends for an aperitif. Everyone meets up at the Bistrot du Port to toast the end of this beautiful spring day.

Summer is the time to relax and unwind

Summer means sunbathing, picnics and lounging in Châtelaillon!

For this, we choose the resort’s large beach. It’s perfect for letting the children play in complete safety. Check the tide tables, help them find the nearest totem animal and then off to their own activities!

The big buccaneers run into the water, the little sailors look for shells and Dad tests his balance on a paddle hired from the water sports centre.

Stomachs rumbling?

Head to l’Ékume for an iodised lunch with your feet in the sand. The view is great and we’re in for a treat with a simple dish, mussels and chips for everyone, a real treat. We make the most of the beach before getting together with friends for the evening picnic.

Good, fresh and organic (found at the Boucholeurs market): we put the tablecloth down on the sand and enjoy the superb sunset together.

In autumn, go green with a 100% Nature Sunday

Châtelaillon for a day out – it’s the perfect plan for the people of La Rochelle! Reserve your Sunday for a 100% green family getaway. And why not in autumn? The autumn is the perfect time to discover the resort’s natural treasures. The weather is still warm and the lights are as beautiful as ever…

We’ve decided to get on our bikes and pedal off to the marshes at Yves. After a picnic in the countryside, the nature reserve welcomes us for an introduction to the local flora and fauna.

Between two sets of binoculars, the birds gather and prepare for migration in a magical atmosphere…
