France
La Rochelle
A drive to La Rochelle is a splendid treat. A lively city and a beautiful seaport by the Atlantic Ocean in the western part of France.
Like most cities bearing their icons, La Rochelle is famous for these two towers guarding the old port. The city map will guide you in exploring the city on foot. You can also use bikes to go around. There are public parking available at the town centre with a multi-level basement parking to preserve the historic look within the square.
We have seen its well preserved architecture and prestigious heritage drawing a lot of tourists. The tree bordered restaurants lining the streets were bustling with families. Crepe , ice cream and waffle stations surrounded by benches filled with locals and tourists people watching while savoring their dessert.
C'est tout.
Which of the top recommendations will you do first?
Happy Monday!
Love & light,
