Why taste oysters in Chaillevette?

• Exceptional oysters: Try the “Spéciales de Claire” or the fine bouchot oysters, raised using traditional methods.
• A friendly atmosphere: Sit at the wooden tables of the oyster huts, feet in the sand, and enjoy your tasting with views of the marshes.
• Meet the producers: Oyster farmers are happy to explain their craft and introduce you to their products.

Where to taste?

• Chez Richard or Chez Jacky: Two iconic port addresses, known for their warm welcome and ultra-fresh oysters.
• Chaillevette Market (in season): Buy oysters to enjoy on-site with a glass of local Pineau charentais.

Our suggestion: A platter of oysters paired with a glass of dry white wine (a local Sauvignon or Colombard), while enjoying views of traditional boats and the colorful oyster huts.

💡 Tip: Check the tide schedules for the best tasting experience, and bring a light sweater—the sea breeze can be cool even in summer!
