When the weather returns, the natural and heritage riches of our city are among the best reasons to discover or rediscover it. In the summer, in La Rochelle and its surroundings, there are also all these festive, cultural and popular events offered as moments of pleasure.
After having blown the 50 candles of the Festival La Rochelle Cinéma, the most «popular» in France behind that of Cannes, our city and the 90,000 expected spectators will celebrate, from July 13 to 17, the 37th edition of the Francofolies by applauding Angèle, Orelsan, Julien Doré, Mika, Bernard Lavilliers, Dutronc father and son, Clara Luciani, Juliette Armanet, Gaëtan Roussel, Roméo Elvis, Booba, Asaf Avidan, Hoshi, Sofiane Pamart, etc. A whole program!
July 31 to August 4, legends such as Earth, Wind and Fire, Gilberto Gil, the Golden Gate Quartet and Rhoda Scott will perform at the foot of the Whales Lighthouse on the island of Ré.
Beyond the festive events of the destination, La Rochelle is a city offering unbeatable activities to carry out during your stay.
Promoting the use of public transit and gentle travel to preserve the environment, the City’s public transport network and its agglomeration offers daily buses, sea bus, ferryman or bike to go to the four rocky cardinal points in a simple and fluid way. If bus lines make it possible to reach the beaches of the Ile de Ré as well as those of La Rochelle (Minimes and Chef-de-Bay), 100 kilometers of cycle paths criss-cross our maritime city and two-wheelers, in self-service as in tourist rental, are available to all. Better: our hotel offers you the possibility to rent a bicycle and go to live La Rochelle in the open air. A precious pleasure that we must not deprive ourselves of.
