Summer day in La Rochelle

Of course the Francofolies and its concerts by dozens, of course the La Rochelle Cinema Festival and its films of all kinds. In summer mode, our maritime city also offers a permanent show.

Good weather in anticipation, good weather on the horizon. After breakfast taken in the quiet of your hotel, forward for a city tour along the water. Setting in the completely renovated Old Port, a string of terrace bars invites you to take the coffee break in front of the two emblematic Rochelaises Towers.

To follow, do not resist the call of the arcaded streets of the historic center, the designer shops of the Saint-Nicolas district and the sublime street of Minage, before going strolling between fruit, vegetables, fish, crustaceans, poultry of the central market, where the pulse of the city beats every morning.

It’s already time for an aperitif. The dozen oysters will be welcome, the one you will have ordered inside the halls and that you will taste in the open air, table in the middle of the regulars Rochelais.
A few cables away, the quays of the Gabut offer the best spots for lunch face-to-face with the sailboats, the Aquarium where you will certainly be intoxicated with aquatic beauties, the bay open on the open sea that you may take during your stay.

Minimes, Concurrence, Chef de Baie: three beaches, three different styles, three ways to spend an afternoon between swimming and easy pleasures.

After a return to the hotel to enjoy once again the comfort of your room, the return to the nearby docks will look like a no-brainer to enjoy a sunset and dinner in one of the restaurants we have advised you.

Tomorrow will be another day, certainly as beautiful as the one you have just experienced.
