Situated at the bottom of a bay overlooking the Pertuis sea, La Rochelle is a city par excellence. You only need to stroll along the quayside of the ports to understand the importance of the role of the sea here. With its fishing, trade, sailing and cruises, La Rochelle is a must for any visitor to the region. Its four ports make it one of France's most important harbours for tourism and trade. The gardens, a real haven of tranquility, extend over almost 350 hectares (864 acres). Each has its own atmosphere, from oceanic to Mediterranean, wild to well-tended. Wherever you are, you are never very far away from greenery in La Rochelle.
