When does it happen?

Where does it happen?

Go to the pretty Boucholeurs village on the André Hesse square to find all the producers’ stands.

Boucholeurs? It comes from “bouchot”, these typical shellfish parks that are at the heart of Charente oyster farming. It is it that made the fame of this former fishing village and that gives it today its unique charm.
It is very easily reached by bike from downtown Chatelaillon by way of the sea.
