Vacation Rentals in La Rochelle, France

La Rochelle has a relatively wide range of accommodations available for all budgets, from small and tasteful apartments to high-end hotels. If you enjoy gourmet food, you'll want to find a vacation rental in the Vieux Port area due to a large number of restaurants there, but you'll also enjoy panoramic views of two medieval towers and the coastline as a result. However, if you're a history buff, we suggest staying in the Old City, surrounded by cobblestone streets and exquisite ancient architecture.

The district of La Gabut in the old port area is filled with colorful buildings and interesting architecture, so it's a good idea to dedicate some time to wander through the ancient streets there. Les Minimes Port is the perfect place to watch a ballet of countless boats navigating the wind-swept waters. After a short stroll through the adjoining neighborhood, the University District, you'll find the Promenade Leo Ferre. At this place of relaxation and nature, you can breathe in the salty sea air while enjoying the spectacular views of Fort Boyard. Lastly, pay a visit to the medieval lighthouse that was also used as a jail for a period of time, La Tour de la Lanterne.

After enjoying the fine architecture and historical sites, you can enjoy a casual meal at many restaurants surrounding the port. Local restaurants like Prao and Restaurant La Porte Royale offer friendly and professional service, with many of the in-house dishes made from locally-sourced ingredients. As a coastal city, you can bet that seafood is always on the menu, but you'll also find other regional specialties in La Rochelle, like duck breast in honey sauce and a vast selection of fine wine.

La Rochelle enjoys moderate and oceanic weather conditions, with warm summers and relatively cold winters.
