Suggested Activities
1. Famous Aquarium
La Rochelle’s state-of-the-art Aquarium is one of the most beautiful in Europe. It belongs to the top 10 provincial attractions in France. It holds three million litres of water and is home to more than 12,000 marine animals of all sorts from sharks to jelly fish. Very nice: there's a team specialised in treating sick turtles brought here specifically for expertise. When the turtles are well, they’re released back into the ocean with a GPS tracker attached and you can follow their progress via the Aquarium website.
2. Gastronomic Tour
Marché de la Rochelle in the former fishermen's district, quartier Saint Nicolas, is a very nice market with local delicacies and fresh fish, where you can also eat & drink. It is situated between the Vieux Port and the train station, an area of cobbled streets and ancient arcaded buildings. If you want to enjoy a cocktail with a different ambience, then the best place is on board of France I, a former meteorological ship, right next to the Maritime Museum. It’s now a bar and restaurant. It’s the perfect place for an aperitif with a simple snack, oysters or seafood platter.
3. Relax on the Beach
Just a short walk from the Vieux Port you will find the Plage de la Concurrence. Behind the beach there is also a very nice Parc Charruyer with different kind of free time activities. The Chef-de-Baie beach is further from the center but probably the most pleasant because it is protected from the wind by a sea wall. The beach of Les Minimes, is the largest in La Rochelle with its shops and restaurants.
Cogolin
La Rochelle
The maritime trade traditions of this famous city and port on the Bay of Biscay date back to the 12th century. It was the center of fishing and maritime trade. The old town and the old port reflect its history with medieval houses, Renaissance architecture and arches from the 17th century. The tradition lives on in the new, huge and modern Les Minimes marina. How to get there: The best and the most sustainable way of transport and a great alternative to driving is taking the train from Paris (2,5 - 4 h), Nantes (2 h) or Bordeaux (2,5-3,5 h).
