  Let's face it: La Rochelle is a «green» and sporty city par excellence. People run, sail and cycle here all year round. And they've made this gentle way of getting around an enviable way of life.
• Cycle track

• Tasdon Marsh
  Located two kilometers as the crow flies from our hotel in La Rochelle, the Tasdon marsh is the main biodiversity reservoir in the La Rochelle area. To preserve these 124 hectares of meadows, woodlands, marshes, ponds and other wetlands, a rehabilitation project has begun.
• Marina
  With over 5,000 berths, La Rochelle's marina is one of the largest in France and the largest on the Atlantic coast.
• Fishing port
