Holidays in La Rochelle

La Rochelle was founded in the Xth century. Initially, it's a tiny fish port in the depth of the marshes. Alexander Duma described the siege of La Rochelle as another adventure of d’Artagnan and three Musketeers. Today La Rochelle is the place of the richest historical and cultural heritage. The old port has a sense of admiration: the guard towers are next to the rebirth buildings, guarding the rest of many pleasure boats. La Rochelle is a very lively town, a place of numerous museums, exhibitions and festivals. This is where we can take a naval walk to the famous Fort Bayard or go to Ree Island.

The three-kilometer bridge connects La Rochelle to island Re. In the past, fishing and salt production were the main occupation of the inhabitants of this vainly cut island. She's delighted by the immoral trees with their white, brown greens, domes and sand beaches at the bottom of the low dune.

City location: in the Puatu-Sharanta region (West France), 180 kilometres from Bordo, 400 kilometres from Tuluz, 467 kilometres from Paris. Re is located 3 kilometres from La Rocheli (connected with main road bridge).
