A thoroughly maritime city (it has no fewer than four ports!), adorned with impressive towers, La Rochelle is a city of many faces. Ideal for a stroll along the Old Port or through its streets lined with brilliantly white arcades, the city comes alive at night and sometimes, in July, does not sleep at all: thanks to the Francofolies! Book a flight to La Rochelle and come and discover the architecture of the Grosse Horloge, Maison Henri II and the Hôtel de la Bourse, while making sure to admire the cathedral’s paintings and votive offerings. You can book a hotel room in La Rochelle right now, close to one of these landmarks. A trip to La Rochelle is above all an open door to the ocean and also an essential stop on the way to discovering the Île de Ré. A paradise for cyclists, the island is a place for well-being, physical activities and green tourism. History is very much present here too: Saint-Martin de Ré boasts 14 kilometres of ramparts built by Vauban and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The highlight of your holidays in La Rochelle: from the top of the Phare des Baleines or the bell tower of Saint-Martin, come and admire the setting sun meeting the ocean!
