RV Rental La Rochelle, FR

Le Parc Charruyer offers visitors a leisurely walk from Porte-Dauphine to the Quartier du Mail.

The Old Port, aka the Vieux Port, is one of La Rochelle’s most popular features. It's generally quite busy, so it's best to arrive early if you prefer a quiet stroll.

If you'd rather be in the water, head down to Plage Chef de Baie, just a few miles down the road from the Old Port. This small urban beach, one of three in the city, is the perfect destination for the whole family. Spend an afternoon splashing in the shallows, then grab a treat from the snack bar.

Wander down the multi-use path that follows Canal de Marans à la Rochelle. This five-mile trail is ideal for all fitness levels. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife along the way, including moorhens and egrets. Prefer to paddle in the water? Parts of the canal permit canoeing.
