Our second visit to La Rochelle and it didn't disappoint. Great food, excellent hotel with stunning view. La Rochelle has a bit of everything, good weather, beach, places of interest, shopping and restauarants/cafes in abundance. A very short walk into main thoroughfares and harbour where you can pick up a boat to the next resort or to islands off the main coast.
Would recommend for families or couples as there is enough for all types of holiday. Roughly a 10 minute walk to the train station if you want to explore (as we did) and approx. 30 minutes to Rochefort which is a great day trip. Woiuld highly recommend and will definitely be back!
