The ocean flows through every aspect of Christopher Coutanceau’s world, and the fisherman-chef chose to moor his La Villa Grand Voile and restaurants just steps from the Old Port of La Rochelle. He embodies a way of being that is centered on goodness, beauty, and respect for living things, expressing his love for the open sea with a style that is both radical and refined. As the Restaurant Christopher Coutanceau makes its home by La Concurrence beach, the Atlantic naturally influences the superb cuisine. Briny flavors tinge the dishes right down to dessert, while La Yole de Chris satisfies both light and hearty appetites from breakfast to dinner. Just steps away is La Villa Grand Voile, a tranquil retreat secluded behind the white façade of an 18th-century shipowner’s house. The eleven rooms and suites, each with its own blue-hued nautical décor, combine historic charm with contemporary elegance. The lush, green terrace and heated pool provide relaxing ports of call before you set sail once again.
