Discover La Rochelle and the surrounding area on holiday
For your next holiday by the ocean, set off to discover Charente-Maritime by booking a Clévacances gîte in La Rochelle. A coastal town in western France, La Rochelle is the prefecture of the Charente-Maritime département. It has also been a renowned fishing and trading centre since the 12th century. Its maritime tradition is reflected in its Old Port and its huge, ultra-modern marina. From your gîte, explore the old town, with its medieval half-timbered houses, Renaissance architecture and arcaded streets dating back to the 17th century. Cycle tourism is a great way to explore La Rochelle and the surrounding area, thanks to the many cycle paths that criss-cross the region. You can visit Aytré and Angoulins for a spot of fishing on foot or to observe the typical structures known as carrelets. Visit the Château de Buzay in La Jarne, which bears witness to past relations with the colonies of the New World. Near Châtelaillon-Plage, the Marais d'Yves Nature Reserve is teeming with bird species and unique flora and fauna. It's the ideal place to switch off and listen to nature. Numerous events and visits are organised throughout the year. Finally, La Rochelle is on the doorstep of the Ile de Ré, a relaxing destination with an island climate. Don't hesitate, choose a Clévacances gîte in La Rochelle for a holiday combining nature and heritage!
Activities near La Rochelle
The La Rochelle aquarium welcomes you all year round to meet the marine species that inhabit our oceans. The Musée Maritime de La Rochelle, meanwhile, will introduce you to the port activities of La Rochelle and the region. The city centre of La Rochelle is a great place for a shopping spree, with its many boutiques, restaurants and arcades. And why not finish your trip at the port of La Rochelle? There's nothing like starting your culinary tour of La Rochelle with a visit to the La Rochelle market under the 19th-century Halles, particularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the days of the Grand Marché. Each shopkeeper will be able to help you appreciate his or her speciality. As La Rochelle is a port city, seafood and shellfish are a must: oysters, mussels, cockles and clams. Lean and sea bass are the star fish in La Rochelle. The galette charentaise is an excellent choice at coffee time, and used to be prepared for village festivals. Take advantage of your stay in La Rochelle in one of our gîtes to bring back some of these specialities as a souvenir. And if you don't have the patience to wait until your holidays are over, you can always enjoy them around a table in your Clévacances accommodation!
