La Rochelle, a city facing the Atlantic Ocean
La Rochelle is a city entirely turned towards the ocean and its resources. The medieval towers of its famous Vieux Port bear witness to this old maritime tradition.
La Rochelle combines the advantages of the city with its ancient history, its architecture, its numerous shops and restaurants, its lively nightlife and the advantages of a seaside resort with its beaches, its seaside walks, its 4 ports.
The La Rochelle aquarium, which presents a variety of marine worlds in more than 70 basins, is the most visited in France.
La Rochelle, ecological city
Very early on, La Rochelle went green. It was the first to consider its city center as a “protected sector”, to set up a pedestrian sector, to use electric vehicles on a daily basis in urban areas… And the 350 hectares of parks and gardens in the city offer a welcome wellness break.
La Rochelle, dynamic city
La Rochelle hosts many renowned events. The city has forged a fine reputation in song thanks to the "Les Francofolies" music festival and the "Grand Pavois" is a major event on the international nautical calendar.
