Why fly to La Rochelle?

With its maritime legacy and a port that dates back to the 13th century, the city of La Rochelle is jam packed with history and overflowing with French heritage.

This place has long been a firm favourite with French tourists who revel in an old town full of 14th century half-timber town houses. Not to mention it was the very centre of French trade and exploration to the Americas for centuries.

While its importance has faded over the years, it is still a city with a fascinating legacy that is ripe for exploring in both summer and winter. And let’s not forget those beaches. Well this is France, after all, so it really is a case of take your pick.

Best time to visit

Fly into Rochelle between June and August for the finest Mediterranean beach weather and idyllic summer day trips to the island of Ré. The predominantly clear skies and sunny days make exploring the city's medieval towers a real treat too. This is also the time of year for top entertainment with the International Film Festival, International Sail Weeks and the Francofolies music festival.

Avoid the crowds

Take advantage of fewer crowds and cheaper prices by flying to La Rochelle between April and June. You should be able to spend a few sunny hours on the beach come May while April's increasingly pleasant weather makes it a fantastic time to stroll the quays. You'll find similar conditions in autumn, although it can be a little rainier.
