Dorcel

A brand new shop

The Dorcel Store in Angoulins opened its doors on February 16, 2024, in the Ormeaux retail park, just minutes from La Rochelle. It's the eighteenth Dorcel shop in France, a brand that's been making and selling pleasure products since 1979.

So the brand knows its subject inside out. Here, we're far from the dusty image of the neighborhood sex shop: the store banks on a polished, bright decor, designed so you feel at ease whether you come alone or as a couple.

What's on the shelves

The selection covers several areas: sex toys for every use, refined lingerie, games to play as a couple and a small offering of erotic literature. The idea is to offer a wide choice without overdoing it, with products designed as much for discovery as for going deeper into practices you already know.

The team on site is trained to guide customers according to their desires and budget, without judgment or canned speeches. It's a point that comes up often in feedback: you can ask embarrassing questions without feeling like you're bothering anyone.

Who can come in

Access is reserved for adults, from 18 years old. The clientele is mixed: couples who come together to choose an accessory, women alone looking for advice, men alone who prefer a physical shop to buying online. The store is designed to welcome these three profiles without any difference in treatment.

Hours and access

The shop is open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10am to 7pm. It's closed on Monday and Sunday. Being located in a retail park in Angoulins makes it easy to reach by car for anyone coming from La Rochelle or the surrounding towns.

What customers say

Feedback on this recent address is positive and highlights the atmosphere: professional welcome, no awkwardness at the door, staff available to guide without pushing a sale. Dorcel's national brand image also plays into the trust customers place in the venue even before setting foot inside.
