City Break in La Rochelle, Rochefort, Royan
How to choose between these 3 Atlantic coast cities?
Each with its own story and soul... While La Rochelle will amaze you, Rochefort will charm you, and Royan will surprise you.
Each of these three towns in Charente-Maritime offers major attractions. Here's a small selection if you have to choose:
In La Rochelle, the three towers, facing the Atlantic, are the obvious choice! From the terraces of the Saint-Nicolas, Chaîne, and Lanterne towers, admire local history.
In Rochefort, how can you choose between the sites on the banks of the Charente: the transporter bridge, a majestic work of art overlooking the Charente, the Corderie Royale, and the town's museums? From one collection to another, whether they focus on the arts, technology, crafts, or science, the works they exhibit and the activities they offer make these museums truly vibrant places!
In Royan, the stunning, modern architecture is a symbol of 1950s urban planning and seaside bathing. The Royan Museum will help you understand the city's history from Antiquity to the present day.

The Vélodyssée will take you from La Rochelle to Rochefort, exploring the coastline. You can then reach Marennes from Rochefort and stop to visit the Île d'Oléron, or continue by bike towards Royan.
