Not widely known to Americans but so glad we discovered this gem of a place. Highly recommend adding La Rochelle to your stops in France. Bus service is great and the streets are gorgeous, which makes for fun and interesting walks. For dinner try Salle a Manger-- they have an interesting and delicious menu. Food is expensive in La Rochelle in general but it was worth trying many different tasty and fun treats. The old port area and 3 towers are beautiful and the breeze coming in from the water makes for a wonderful place to have a meal or hang out. One of our favorite shops was Bruno Mercier, Bijoux de Porcelaine. Bruno takes great pride in his designs and jewelry. He answered our questions and took great care of us while we shopped.
-beautiful and authentic architecture and infrastructure (streets etc) straight out of shakespearen tragedy like romeo & juliet - amazing seafood markets and restaurants open very late for us non europeans anyway
Southern France seaside town that is magical. So friendly, small, easy to navigate and lots to enjoy. We so enjoyed this town vs. Paris which is busy, rushed and crowded. La Rochelle is truly a lovely town that is easy to walk around and find new treasures to enjoy each day.
Excellent location if you enjoy walking as we do. So much going on whilst we were there including a Triathlon and the sailing of the Training Ship Belem. Extremely easy for getting around. A bus from the airport to Place de Verdon then a bus from there to Les Minimes where New Rochelle Residence is situated. Each bus trip only costs €1.30 per person. Plenty of bars & restaurants around the Vieux Port to watch the world go by!!
The competition among the eateries, restaurants, inns, taverns, boutiques, etc. is geared towards an ever higher quality of services they offer. Any place to eat in a randomly chosen category gives a terrific value for money, with taste that demonstrates an excellence of cuisine. Fish specialties at Bar André are not to miss, nor are the cakes at D'Jolly. Finding your way is fairly easy, and a few rudimentary phrases in French are very helpful in orientation.
The historic city center is clean, cheerful, full of activity, and you are surrounded with beautifully preserved historic architecture and arcades with shops and restaurants. You can see all the sites, from the port to the aquarium, on foot without trouble. Seafood is of course the speciality, and the oysters and local fish are marvelous. The aquarium is one of the best I've seen, and the natural history museum, one of the oldest in France, has a marvelous collection. It's a great place to plunge into French history and sample an exceptionally good regional cuisine.
“If you're looking to be close to the action of La Rochelle in the summer, I doubt that you could choose a better hotel...very close to the castles at the inlet to the old harbor and the lively but family-oriented scene around it. Well insulated from any noise. Staff are very active and aim to please. Rooms not large but well-attended and clean”
“Spacious rooms with well equipped kitchen. Good location and ambiance. We stayed here for 4 days and enjoyed la rochelle. Very friendly customer service.”
“Excellent location. Hotel is nicely laid out with an extra door to the bedroom for increased privacy and noise abatement. I had a pool view but since pool was closed there was no disturbance. Staff were very helpful and patient.”
“Great, high standard hotel, located at the marina, right in the center of town, a short walking distance from the main harbour. Private, secure parking is free.”
“Comfortable room,very well decorated in very modern style.The hotel interior was top design .The staff were very friendly and everything was easy and uncomplicated.The location was near exhibition centre and also near the town and port,and very peaceful and calm,so ideal”
