La Rochelle Fiction Festival 2026, Le Rivage Hotel in Châtelaillon-Plage

A major event in French television, the Festival de la Fiction brings together nearly 60 series and films each year, in and out of competition, alongside special screenings.

The leading French and European event dedicated to television fiction, the Festival de la Fiction has been held in La Rochelle for the past fifteen years, drawn by the city's charm and the festival's growing success with both professionals and the general public. Throughout the week, the town comes alive with screenings, meet-and-greets with cast and crew, and signing sessions, notably at La Coursive and Cinéma Dragon.

Why stay at Le Rivage during the festival: just 15 minutes from La Rochelle, Hôtel Le Rivage offers the calm of a seafront setting after a day of screenings and encounters in the city centre. The perfect base to enjoy the festival without giving up the peace of the coast.

Practical information:
