Eugene Chatel came from Paris to live with his grandparents at Croit-e-Caley in the parish of Russian. He moved to Douglas and married Clara Teare in 1895 at St. Georges Church ( Church of England).

Clara's family came from the Athol Street area of Douglas where the Chatels lived for many years before going into the Hotel business.

They are still leading citizens of Douglas.
