Couillon Alexandre

Céline and Alexandre Couillon’s Marine & Végétale is a hospitality and dining destination in L’Herbaudière, on the island of Noirmoutier, France. At its heart is La Marine, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant where chef Alexandre Couillon draws inspiration from his life, local surroundings and personal experiences. Guided by instinct and sensitivity, he transforms emotions and connections with the land into dishes presented for guests to share. The restaurant’s cuisine and atmosphere reflect a spirit of exploration, with an elegant, modern dining room set in an understated house by the harbor.

The establishment also offers Élise, a restaurant focused on fish and cooking over a wood fire, as well as hotel stays that guests can reserve directly. Gift vouchers are available for dining and experiences. Céline and Alexandre place respect, openness, inspiration and the transmission of knowledge at the center of their approach, recognizing the contribution of each person to the wider team. Together, their restaurant, accommodation and guest services offer visitors a thoughtful way to discover Noirmoutier through food and hospitality.
