A flotilla colorful, the incessant ballet of boats in the harbor, an intense activity on the docks all season: we are La Cotinière! Due west face off, this typical small fishing port is known and recognized for the quality of products that we landed there: Line bass, sole, scampi, céteaux... Noble species and fisheries techniques adapted to these La Cotinière varieties make the first Charente-Maritime fishing port and seventh nationally. At a time when the ships return to port to unload the fish, the show is a must.

Here, life is everywhere, even in the small streets of the village or on the morning market. Between the low houses of fishermen, whitewashed façades and green or blue shutters, we walk, eat ice cream after swimming, we make purchases, or you can relax on the terrace of a cafe. In the evening on the waterfront, between the stalls of hawkers, to the sound of music concerts, the crowd is waiting for you: entertainment, fireworks... In summer, La Cotinière, the season is in full swing.
