3 days in La Rochelle

The Islands & the Surrounding Area

Time to explore beyond the harbour

• Fort Boyard & Aix Island by boat (cars are not allowed on the island; bicycles only)
• Les Minimes coastal walk: Aytré, Chatelaillon-Plage along the coast, between the marina and the beaches
• The Poitevin Marshes, “The Green Venice”: a boat trip along the canals overgrown with vegetation
• Rochefort & Corderie Royale (30 minutes’ drive from La Rochelle)
  
  

Boats to the islands depart from the harbour, just below the hotel
