La Rochelle is an excellent town to see for a while. An important feature about La Rochelle is usually that the centre of town sits close to the harbour. The harbour is beautiful, filled with yachts and boats additionally, the entrance is guarded by two old stone towers. The Tour St Nicolas (Saint Nicolas Tower) is 42 meters high and looks such as a small castle sat over the water. The Tour de la Chaine (The Chain Tower) was built between 1382 and 1390 and contains an exhibit regarding the migration of French individuals to Canada.

The harbour comes with very reasonably priced restaurants, a great location for a soothing lunch. Come night time the vicinity transforms and fills on the top of various entertainments available from street artists, from music to gymnastics to fireside eating. If you're searching for something a bit more up-market view the nearby Rue St Jean Du Perot that is packed with interesting looking restaurants including a Thai restaurant plus a strongly suggested fish restaurant called André. We select the Bistro Remi Massé which won top bistro prize in 2006 and wasn't disappointed.

From the harbour area walk through the beautifully decorated clock tower and you're with the main shopping streets of La Rochelle. Here you will find Pimkie, Camaieau, Promod and numerous others within the popular French shops. Nearby remedies available you will discover Les Galaries Lafayette house designer collections or a walk towards covered market reveals loads of exclusive boutiques.

The covered marketplace is essential. Inside is an excellent choice of top quality butchers, cheese shops, deli's as well as there's an excellent array of cooked meals should you be considering over a good picnic. Delicious, but not cheap. Outside inside the mornings there exists a quite large fruit and vegetables market.

Walking round La Rochelle amongst my favourite sights would be the Maison Henri II (Is know for Henri II). It is really an elaborate façade of an house but provides the look on the looking for Romeo and Juliet. While in front of it we have a lovely little courtyard garden. Perfect location to stop and eat an ice cream! Another lovely spot is definitely the Cloister des Dames Blanches, a cloister by using a pleasant garden and a art exhibition decorating its walls. You will find, for other garden fans like myself don't miss the Jardin des Plantes that's behind natural History Museum. This is a fantastic garden and contains many plants I could only dream of growing in a very greenhouse although I live further south in France than La Rochelle. The museum will probably be worth a vacation too!
