Thomas, the descendant of a line of passionate cheese-makers, took over the reins of the family business in Rochefort in 1979. Since June, he has set up his cheese dairy under the covered market in Châtelaillon Plage, offering a rich family history and delectable expertise!
As a demanding connoisseur, Thomas favours direct producers to guarantee the quality of his products. The friendly team of Thomas, Alexandra and Marie invite you to explore a range of cheeses that change with the seasons, highlighting the quality of the farming and unique flavours. Come and enjoy this cheese experience with a smile!
So, what would you say to indulging in a small slice? The team, made up of Thomas, Alexandra and Marie, is there to welcome you with a smile.
On our stalls, we want our customers to taste products that change with the seasons and that have been selected for the quality of their breeding and taste. The idea is to help our customers discover new regions while enjoying a good cheese!

CourprieA taste of iodine with Maison Courprie
Oysters run in the Courprie family! Based in the village of Boucholeurs, the different generations of oyster-farmers perpetuate their precious know-how. Visit their stand at the covered market in Châtelaillon to sample the fruits of their labour.
The Courprie family’s advice: with its iodised flavour, oysters are good enough on their own! A drizzle of lemon, a twist of pepper, but no more!
Passing on your passion to your children is the best gift you can give them.
L Ocean Fraicheur 10 MinLet yourself be tempted by "Océan Fraicheur".
Océan Fraîcheur is the story of Julien Néraudeau, a lifelong resident of Châtelaillon. After exploring Europe in the industrial sector, he made a radical change and embraced the profession of fishmonger.
Today, he is the proud owner of the fish, shellfish and seafood stall located under our covered market. A few years ago, following a life change, Julien decided to devote himself to the fishmonger’s trade.
Here, the emphasis is on the freshness and origin of the products. We buy from the 5 local fish markets: Les Sables-d’Olonne, La Rochelle, Royan, La Côtinière and Saint-Jean-de-Luz. You’ll also find a range of delicatessen products, wines selected in partnership with Sandy from the Cave du Château d’Alon, and a delicatessen section offering dishes as delicious as each other.
Châtelaillon-Plage is a return to my roots for me, and I’m delighted to be taking on this new challenge with my whole team. We’re delighted with the response from our customers!
