What to do and see in La Rochelle, Nouvelle-Aquitaine: The Best Tours
Located on the Bay of Biscay, La Rochelle’s history mostly involved the sea; today it has a large pleasure-boat marina. Thus its heart is the picturesque "Vieux Port" ("Old Harbor"). The city retains a rich architectural heritage, and has an aquarium, attractive gardens and a natural-history museum. Book early for summer; mid-July in particular features Francofolies, a huge French music festival.

We booked a tour with John on line the night before our tour. This was late in September. He met us at 2:00 and was friendly and knowledgeable about his city. This was the last day of his touring for the season and though there were only 2 of us, he led us on an excellent tour, pointing out great restaurants and specialty shops along the way. He also took us to wonderful photography sites which we wouldn't have found on our own. John would love to also lead food tours in La Rochelle.
