La Rochelle
Situated in a coastal location with islands, sandy beaches and sleepy fishing villages, the harbour town of La Rochelle boasts a rich history which has always been inseparable from the Atlantic. From the old port, the first French colonialists left for Canada in the 15th century. Fantastic watersports facilities are on offer along the Atlantic coast surrounding this friendly student town.
