Covered market: a concentrate of Charentes!
Words from the shopkeepers!
Pascal FromagerPascal and his stand Tout autour du Fromage
In duo with Constance, Pascal will make your mouth water with his selection of cheeses from Charente. His specialty: the jonchée! Don’t you know it? This fresh cheese typical of the region is presented in a pretty braided ring that gives it its name. Its slightly bitter taste in the mouth, its freshness and its delicacy make it the little sweetness at the end of the meal. You will melt!
Pascal’s advice : Want an even more gourmet tasting? Sprinkle your jonchée with sugar or add a touch of honey. A good cognac will also enhance it.
The covered market is a small family! Everyone knows each other here, it creates a real atmosphere, authentic and friendly
Welcome to Manu !
Manu is one of the butchers not to be missed at the covered market. Here, he is as well known for his beautiful pieces as for his good mood! If you’re looking for quality meat, prepared with passion and served with a smile, you’re in the right place. Cooking, recipe ideas and flavor combinations: we take note of his precious advice to impress our next guests!
Manu’s specialty: a tasty white ham cooked for 12 hours. The long cooking time allows to find the taste of the meat in its juice.
When you love your job, you are uncompromising about quality.
LoicLoïc, from the Maison des Délices

His little plus? Collaborations with brands and labels, guaranteeing the traceability of the meat!
Loïc’s favorite : Charentais crickets with sea salt from the Ile de Ré. A 100% local pleasure, 100% tasty!
I love the contact with customers. Advising, guiding and inspiring is our daily work with my team.
CourprieA taste of iodine with Maison Courprie
Oysters are a family affair in the Courprie family! Based in the village of Boucholeurs, its different generations of oyster farmers perpetuate a precious know-how. Find their stand at the covered market of Chatelaillon to taste the fruit of their work.
The Courprie family’s advice: with its iodized taste, the oyster is enough by itself! A dash of lemon, a turn of pepper, but no more!
Passing on your passion to your children is the best gift you can give them.
PastaThe pasta deliziosa of Stefano
Pasta yes, but Stefano’s! Head to the Pasta Company to (re)discover with him the true taste of Italian gastronomy. Do you want to know everything about ravioli, learn everything about mozzarella di bufala and prepare your parppadelle like a real Tuscan? Just ask!
Stefano’s tip: never put fresh cream in pasta carbonara. Sacrilegio!
What do Chatelaillon and Italy have in common? The love of simplicity!
