La Rochelle is more than just a seaport on the Atlantic Ocean. Of course, the city is the inevitable place to go on the coast and is one of the largest French harbour cities in terms of business and tourism. But, with its 1,000 year history, it’s also one of the best kept secrets in the region. You will be surprised by its architectural heritage, its unique atmosphere, the diversity of its museums and its eclectic nightlife. The area is quite warm thanks to the Gulf Stream and the insolation is remarkably high, on a par with the French Riviera!
