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?

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.
