[FR] "Châtelaillon-Plage est une commune du Sud-Ouest de la France située dans le département de la Charente-Maritime (région Nouvelle-Aquitaine).

Malgré la présence du toponyme balnéaire dans le nom de la commune, la plage de Châtelaillon-Plage est artificielle. Il se trouve en effet que cette plage nécessite un ensablement régulier, sinon la force des courants marins la ferait complètement disparaître.
La commune comprend notamment une partie du village des Bouchôleurs, à vocation mytilicole et ostréicole, partagé avec la commune d'Yves. Ce village a été particulièrement touché par la tempête Xynthia du 28 février 2010. Le gouvernement français y a distingué des zones « dangereuses pour la vie humaine » au sein desquelles toute habitation devrait être détruite. Contestant cette position, certains habitants se sont constitués en association de sauvegarde du village des Bouchôleurs."

Vous trouverez à ces coordonnées un monument aux morts de la première guerre mondiale dans le cimetière municipal du village de Châtelaillon Plage. Vous pourrez y lire : '1914 1918 LES ANCIENS COMBATTANTS A LEURS GLORIEUX CAMARADES MORTS POUR LA FRANCE ET LA LIBERATION DU MONDE'



[EN] "Châtelaillon-Plage is a commune in south-western France located in the department of Charente-Maritime (Nouvelle-Aquitaine region).

Despite the presence of the seaside toponym in the name of the town, the beach at Châtelaillon-Plage is artificial. It turns out that this beach requires regular silting up, otherwise the force of the sea currents would make it completely disappear.
The town includes in particular a part of the village of Bouchôleurs, for mussel farming and oyster farming, shared with the town of Yves. This village was particularly affected by the Xynthia storm of February 28, 2010. The French government has identified areas "dangerous to human life" in which all housing should be destroyed. Challenging this position, some residents have formed a safeguard association for the village of Bouchôleurs. "
