    An interesting experience to make: sleeping in boat. We had the chance to have a small storm in the night which made it exciting.

Vivre et dormir à bord d’un bateau, sans naviguer, au ponton, est une idée originale, un avant-goût de la vie sur l'eau, lors de navigations longues, et pour les amoureux de la mer, c’est un peu caresser un rêve. Venez découvrir à bord d’Argol l'ambiance conviviale des pontons dans un port au cœur de la ville de Rochefort-sur-mer, à 20 kilomètres de La Rochelle. Cadre idéal, nombreux commerces et tous services à proximité. Vous pourrez visiter la Corderie Royale, l’Hermione, mais aussi aller à La Rochelle pour profiter de ses attraits touristiques et culturels. Que vous soyez seul, en escale ou en mission professionnelle, en famille ou avec des amis, Argol est un endroit idéal pour une soirée originale, insolite ; ou pour un séjour plus long comme curiste : n’hésitez pas et venez vivre une expérience unique.
Goût de la rencontre et de l'échange. Navigation à voile, littérature, théâtre, voyages
Rochefort, ville royale, la Corderie, l'Hermione, le musée de la Marine, le Pont Transbordeur, la Charente...
