Sortie du port
La Rochelle, also has a lovely area for pedestrians, a European fishing port and marina, a university, museums, and wonders to discover.
Fishing, commerce, and pleasure cruising make La Rochelle one of the most compelling Atlantic passages.
Today, its four ports make up one of the largest port authorities, tourist, and economic sites in France. All of this without taking into account its cultural openness with the francofolies, international film festival, Grand Pavois, numerous museums, aquarium, and, of course, rugby and sailing.

La Rochelle also means taking time to relax and enjoy life; taking advantage of seaside promenades, parks and gardens, strolls in the old port, stopping for an ice cream and relaxing on sunny terraces.
La Rochelle is as welcoming as it's inhabitants.
