About Oyster & Pineau Fest
Flavors of the Island of Oléron
The Oyster and Pineau Festival is a traditional summer event in Château-d'Oléron that honors the two emblematic products of the region: oysters from the Marennes-Oléron basin and Pineau des Charentes. From July to August, every Sunday evening becomes a celebration of local gastronomy.
Festive atmosphere at the port
From 5 PM, the port of Château-d'Oléron comes alive with stands offering tastings of mussels, oysters, sausages, fries, and other local specialties. Musical entertainment, dances, and fireworks (weather permitting) create a festive and friendly atmosphere for the whole family, combining maritime tradition and Charentais lifestyle.
