Plage Famille 2 ChatelailloAfter a delicious family breakfast, we jumped on our bikes and headed for the beach a few minutes away. No-one moaned “are we there yet”, the beach was only a few pedal strokes away !

The little ones quickly made friends at the Kids’ Beach Club, and we parents took the opportunity to relax. Vincent learned to stand up on a paddle board and I joined a Zumba session. It was the perfect place to work out while chatting with friends I met last year.
After each doing our favourite activities, the whole tribe met up for a stroll through the colourful market.
It’s our gourmet ritual at Châtelaillon-Plage ! We awaken the children’s curiosity, we fill the baskets with fresh products and we meet the local producers. If Louise learns with Vincent how to choose a melon, the boys have quickly spotted the oyster stand! We choose together the menu of the barbecue of noon before returning for the lunch.
For fresh local produce and curiosities
Once back home, we put on our aprons while the kids played outside in the garden sun. The smell of grilled meat wafted in from the barbecue. I made a tasty salad with fruit from this morning’s market. In Châtelaillon, all these little pleasures add up to a lot of happiness!
While eating, we talked about our morning and tried to remember the children’s new friends’ names. Louise took a nap after lunch while we tried to beat the boys (for once) at board games.
Under a blue afternoon sky, we strolled through the pretty streets of Châtelaillon.

Later, all five of us went back to the beach for another swim. On your marks, get set, dive in! There are no big waves in Châtelaillon so the little ones can swim in complete safety. It was a real pleasure.
My favourite bit was when Mum let us play alone in the shallow water, like adults!
The sun was setting over the ocean while Vincent laid out a tablecloth on the sand. We had a picnic on the beach every holiday evening. Naturally, the children didn’t complain !
To end our day on the beach, we treated ourselves to a last drink at one of the beach bars before returning to our holiday home completely relaxed.
