# 1

Packing your bags

At the foot of the sea

To make the most of the season, opt for an extended weekend in a beautiful rental on the doorstep of the ocean. So you can open the shutters with a smile!

Our favourite?

TheHôtel Victoria and its vintage elegance. You can set down your luggage in one of the large, finely decorated rooms, before settling down at the bar to savour the local delicacies. Unless you prefer the comfort of a 1930s armchair, accompanied by a beautiful book on the architecture of châtelaillonnaise?

# 2

With nature

To be one

Châtelaillon is wiser and quieterin autumn than in summer. The wildlife comes out of its shyness and reserves some lovely moments for bundled-up strollers. You can breathe deeply in the fresh, golden air and feel the leaves gently crunch under your feet.

Our favourite?

The crossroads of the marshes. As winter approaches, everyone is moving or taking up new quarters. Look up and you’ll see swarms ofmigratory birds on their way to warmer climes.

Specialities from Charente

to eat

In our region, the shoulder season is full of flavour! At the best restaurants or market stalls, the specialities of the Charente region are sure to catch our eye. While squash (melon, pumpkin, pumpkin) is the star of the show, seafood and fish remain the stars of our plates. Scallops, oysters or mussels: a concentrate of iodine.

Our favourite?

The must-have mouclade! We like it with a touch of curry to subtly spice up the flavour.

This is THE must-see tour of the rebel city. Welcome to the Mediterranean. Or rather the Caribbean. Well, in the tropical forest. Too late, you’re already immersed in a slow ballet of sea turtles… All without ever having to queue!

Shopping in the boutiques

The city

The cards are going to be hot in Rue du Palais… Play it like a true Rochelais and find the perfect accessory during a shopping session in the city centre. Unreasonable, but so what?
