3 Michelin stars & 1 green startaste of the oceanfamily heritageinitimate settinginspired by its marine setting

A discreet white property with blue shutters, typical of the Vendée region, is home to La Marine, the restaurant of Céline and Alexandre Couillon. This property, located directly on the small port of Herbaudière, at the north-west tip of the island of Noirmoutier, has become something of a mecca for gastronomy. From his parents, the chef not only inherited a restaurant, but also their passion for the sea (his father was a shrimp fisherman) along with strong values of hospitality and respect for produce. He runs the establishment with his wife Céline, as Maître de Maison. For his bistro-inspired menu, Chef Couillon selects only the finest seafood cultivated sustainably. Even vegetables come from his own kitchen garden. Guests wishing to stay the night will appreciate Maison Moizeau which adjoins the restaurant–its rooms feature bright marine-inspired décor, polished parquet floors, white walls and natural materials, and open their windows onto the port and its boats.

Special chefs, specialized cuisine

Gastronomy is fundamental to the history of Relais & Châteaux, which celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. It was there at the very beginning, with the fledgling Association uniting not just singular hotels but great restaurants too. Relais & Châteaux chefs across the globe interpret this in their own unique way, celebrating local ingredients and perpetuating the food cultures that surround them. From Japan to The Netherlands, New Zealand and Ecuador, we offer a glimpse into the kitchens of a collection of culinary artists and gastronomic visionaries.

Visit Noirmoutier-en-l’île market

Although it is held all year round, the Noirmoutier-en-l'île market has a particular charm in the summer. Every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, its colorful stalls set up their displays under and around the large covered market halls. Stroll among the local producers and artisans, savor local specialties and admire the catch of the day... or just enjoy a little people-watching from the terrace of a café.

Cycle through the salt marshes

Maison Moizeau provides guests with bicycles free of charge. Cycling is the perfect way to explore the surrounding area, starting with the nearby salt marshes, where you can observe the artisanal harvest of 'white gold.' Continue on to Noirmoutier before returning via Le Vieil, with its white houses and colorful shutters. During spring, the pretty streets leading to the beaches are covered with flowers, adding to the charm of the village.
