La Rochelle, a city facing the ocean

La Rochelle seduces all its inhabitants and passers-by with its history, its architecture, its lifestyle, its climate and its position facing the Atlantic Ocean

Middle Ages and Renaissance

A fortified town in the Middle Ages, La Rochelle was a great fishing and trading town. In its streets you will find half-timbered houses representative of this period but in particular, the Old Port, emblem of La Rochelle with its two large medieval towers: La Chaîne and Saint-Nicolas. From Un Hotel en Ville, you will probably pass by several times a day and immerse yourself in this area full of life which changes throughout the day. The Vieux Port is located just a 2-minute walk from the hotel. A third emblematic tower of La Rochelle, La Tour de la Lanterne, can also be discovered. You can also simply enjoy it from the hotel’s rooftop terrace.

The city has remained prosperous over the centuries. The Renaissance also offers a rich architectural heritage, including the Town Hall, which was magnificently restored after a disastrous fire in 2013.

Always turned towards the ocean

La Rochelle is above all a history of Ports since the Middle Ages, making this city the largest Port in France even today with the Port des Minimes, which has become France’s largest, ultra-modern marina.

The Ile de Ré, nicknamed “Ré la Blanche” because of the color of the traditional houses, is situated opposite La Rochelle. It is difficult to find a hotel there and at only 20 minutes from Un Hôtel en Ville, it makes more sense to extend your stay in La Rochelle and plan a day trip to the Ile de Ré.

Art de vivre and gastronomy

La Rochelle’s characteristic “douceur de vivre” is reflected in its sunny and mild climate, its terraces along the Old Port, its arcaded streets, its lively restaurants and its gastronomy embodied by Christopher Coutanceau, Chef running a three-star Restaurant with large bay windows facing the ocean. Just a 5-minute walk from Un Hôtel en Ville is a culinary discovery not to be missed, without compromise, while staying in the heart of the old town and its other attractions.
