A historic institution on the Côte de Beauté

Anchored on the beach of Grande Côte in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer, a few minutes from Royan, this address has built a solid reputation.

Artisanal expertise and signature baking

The identity of Viviers Charentais rests on precise, artisanal techniques, particularly in the preparation of cooked products. The company is renowned for its spiced court-bouillon, a secret recipe that gives whelks, prawns, and langoustines a unique and robust flavor. This expertise attracts a clientele of seafood lovers eager to rediscover the authentic taste of these products.

Takeaway and custom-made seafood platters

Boasting an impressive display counter over 20 meters long, the establishment offers a diverse selection of seafood to take away. Customers are free to create their own bespoke seafood platters according to their preferences, whether for a festive meal at home or a seafood picnic on the coastal cliffs.

The diversity of the offering, ranging from Marennes Oléron oysters to crabs, via Charron mussels and other shellfish and crustaceans, guarantees a solution adapted to every occasion.

On-site tasting and a festive, casual atmosphere

For those wishing to extend the experience, an on-site seafood tasting area welcomes visitors in a friendly atmosphere inspired by seaside cafes.

The terraces, offering panoramic views of the ocean and the majestic Cordouan lighthouse, provide a perfect setting to enjoy a dozen oysters or the famous homemade seafood paella. This signature dish, generous and fragrant, has become a must-try at the seaside resort over the years.
