Facing the Atlantic on France’s beautiful Bay of Biscay, La Rochelle exudes seaside elegance and maritime heritage. Once one of the kingdom’s great ports, this historic city enchants visitors with its cobbled streets, limestone façades and the rhythmic sound of waves lapping against the harbour walls. From its medieval towers guarding Le Vieux Port to its lively terraces and hidden courtyards, La Rochelle offers an irresistible blend of culture, gastronomy and coastal charm.

Culinary culture:
La Rochelle’s cuisine celebrates the ocean. Savour fresh oysters, mussels in white wine, and butter-grilled fish, accompanied by a glass of crisp Muscadet or a local Pineau des Charentes. For dessert, try galette charentaise, a traditional butter cake subtly scented with angelica. Dining here is a delight, whether in a bustling seafood bistro by the port or a refined restaurant overlooking the sea.
