1day in La Rochelle

The great La Rochelle classic

Just passing through La Rochelle for a day?
Here’s how to make the most of the city without missing a thing.

• Visit the aquarium at lunchtime to avoid the crowds; allow at least two hours
• Visit the medieval towers and enjoy the view of the islands in fine weather
• Market square in the late morning: oyster tasting, local producers
• A drink in the sunshine at the Old Port

The medieval towers can be seen from the hotel, a 2-minute walk away
