    • The Charente Fish Farms in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer: Between Seafood and Events Facing the Ocean

      A local institution dedicated to seafood

      Located in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, near Royan on the Côte de Beauté, Les Viviers Charentais is renowned for its expertise in seafood, Marennes-Oléron oysters, bouchot mussels, and shellfish and crustaceans. Since 1977, this establishment has been a fixture in the local scene as a specialist in offering products sourced from the Charente coastline.

      The establishment's identity is based on artisanal expertise, particularly through masterful cooking and a spiced court-bouillon that contributes to the exceptional flavor of the products. This approach helps to cultivate a loyal clientele of local and tourist customers seeking seafood.

      A varied stall for takeaway seafood

      Les Viviers Charentais has a long counter, allowing them to offer a diverse selection of seafood to take away. Customers can create their own platter according to their preferences, selecting from a wide range of shellfish, crustaceans, oysters and mussels.

      This option is ideal for both individuals wishing to host a meal at home and visitors wanting to enjoy a picnic by the sea. The freshness of the products and their presentation make choosing easy and ensure an experience accessible to everyone.

      Enjoy a tasting on-site in a friendly atmosphere.

      In addition to takeaway service, the establishment offers an on-site seafood tasting area. The indoor and outdoor terraces provide an open setting overlooking the ocean, with a view of the Cordouan lighthouse, an iconic landmark of the region.

      The atmosphere, inspired by the spirit of a traditional French open-air café, encourages shared moments with family or friends. This simple and pleasant setting allows you to enjoy a meal in a natural environment, right next to the beach.

      Among the specialties, homemade seafood paella holds a prominent place. Available for takeaway or to eat in, it can also be prepared for groups, with suitable equipment provided for communal meals.

      Privatizing a seaside location

      Les Viviers Charentais also offers the option of private hire for private or professional events. This option allows you to enjoy a secluded setting, located right on the beach, facing the ocean and the Cordouan lighthouse.

      The space is suitable for various types of events such as business meetings, private parties, birthdays, or family celebrations. The site's layout allows for hosting groups in a natural environment conducive to conviviality.

    We come here every time we're in my area. It's very, very good. The option to buy sandwiches for those who don't like seafood and the children's play area are also a real plus.
