    • THE GRAND CHALET IN RONCE-LES-BAINS: A STAY BETWEEN OCEAN AND PINE FOREST

      A charming hotel facing the ocean

      Located in Ronce-les-Bains, a seaside resort in La Tremblade, Charente-Maritime, Le Grand Chalet welcomes guests to a peaceful and rejuvenating setting, nestled between sandy beaches and a pine forest. Housed in a historic 19th-century residence, this property offers an elegant and authentic stay, with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Its prime location, just steps from the center of Ronce-les-Bains, makes it a popular choice for nature lovers and those seeking wide-open spaces.


      Elegant and welcoming rooms

      The Grand Chalet offers tastefully decorated rooms that blend contemporary style with old-world charm. Each room features comfortable bedding, a private bathroom, storage space, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms offer panoramic views of the ocean or the pine forest, providing a truly serene escape.

      Guests can choose from several types of accommodation: double rooms, family rooms or spacious suites, suitable for all types of stays, whether it's a romantic getaway, a family weekend or a relaxing break with friends.


      A restaurant focused on local flavors

      Each morning, a generous and delicious breakfast is served in the bright dining room or on the sunny terrace. The menu includes artisanal pastries, fresh bread, seasonal fruit, homemade jams, and local specialties. For lunch and dinner, several restaurants located near the Grand Chalet offer the opportunity to sample regional products, including the famous Marennes-Oléron oysters and freshly caught seafood.


      A setting conducive to relaxation and exploration

      The guesthouse is surrounded by a large, wooded garden, perfect for relaxation. Guests can enjoy the sun loungers facing the ocean or explore the nearby beaches and hiking trails. Ronce-les-Bains is also renowned for its sunny microclimate, allowing guests to enjoy seaside pleasures throughout the warmer months.


      Must-see attractions within a 30-kilometer radius
      From Le Grand Chalet, several remarkable sites are accessible in just a few minutes by car or bicycle. In La Tremblade, the oyster port invites you for a picturesque stroll among colorful huts and oyster tastings. The Train des Mouettes, a historic steam train, offers a unique journey through the marshes and typical landscapes of the region.


      Nature lovers can explore the Coubre Forest, where marked trails allow visitors to discover preserved flora and fauna. Along the coast, the Coubre Lighthouse offers a spectacular panorama of the Seudre estuary and the Atlantic Ocean.


      For a cultural outing, the charming village of Mornac-sur-Seudre, listed among the "Most Beautiful Villages of France," captivates visitors with its cobbled streets, artisans, and salt marshes. Finally, the local markets of La Tremblade and Marennes abound with regional products, such as Pineau des Charentes, Charentaise galettes, and bouchot mussels.


      By staying at the Grand Chalet, visitors benefit from an authentic and peaceful setting, while being close to many activities and discoveries that make the Charente-Maritime region so rich.

    An exceptional stay from beginning to end! For four days, we had an absolutely wonderful time at this hotel. The welcome was impeccable: warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. A huge thank you to Julie at reception for her kindness and professionalism, as well as to the hotel owners, a charming and passionate couple, always available and ready to do anything to make our stay perfect. The entire staff also deserves praise for their smiles, a consistent team, their availability, and all the little touches that make all the difference. A huge congratulations also to Valentin, the chef, who delights guests with delicious and refined cuisine, perfectly showcasing this exceptional setting. The hotel boasts an idyllic location facing the sea, with a magnificent terrace where you can fully enjoy the sun and stunning sunsets in a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are immaculate: spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with very comfortable bedding, guaranteeing restful nights. Everything is in place for an unforgettable experience. We leave with wonderful memories and will return with immense pleasure. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment!

    Superb establishment. The welcome was excellent; the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. Fish, veal onglet, rib-eye steak, salads, burgers, mussels, oysters. Cocktails, charcuterie boards... high-quality products. I highly recommend it. With its magnificent terrace, Le Grand Chalet is a must-visit. Refinement and elegance are the hallmarks of this establishment.
