  • No need to visit Sea World when you can go to the Aquarium de La Rochelle, home to over 600 different species! And besides, let's face it, it's a lot closer! A Paris to La Rochelle trip takes less than 3 hours!

  • You'll no doubt fall in love with the towers of La Rochelle. Once both lighthouses and prisons, they played several roles in the past, but the Tour de la Lanterne is definitely the most beautiful of the three!

  • Other things worth noting: you can make a detour via Île de Ré and Fort Boyard during your stay in La Rochelle!

Would you like more information about La Rochelle and your potential trip to La Rochelle? Also, these questions are on your mind:

The beauty of La Rochelle is a well-kept secret. Sure, there are tourists in La Rochelle, that's certain, but many American or Asian travellers still haven't heard of it... Too bad for them, lucky for you! Especially since La Rochelle is well served! Indeed, when it comes to transport to La Rochelle, many companies serve the city. You can choose between:

  • By train, La Rochelle is fairly easy to reach with TGV InOui and TER trains serving the city.
  • By bus, La Rochelle is just as easy, if not easier, to reach since the bus companies Flixbus and BlaBlaBus offer routes from all over France and even potentially Europe.
  • By carpooling, La Rochelle is also within reach since many tourists and drivers offer routes towards the "Porte Océane" (Gateway to the Ocean).

Transport companies have clearly seen the potential of this city! And soon it will be your case too!

First question: what to do there? First of all, you must discover the towers of La Rochelle! In three words, the towers are pretty lighthouses. Well, they still deserve more than three words! The Tour de la Lanterne is the star, but each of them is lovely and interesting. In the past, these towers were prisons and lighthouses, but today they are museums and must-sees in La Rochelle. No doubt they'll leave you speechless!

Fancy going down to the bottom of the ocean in a submarine? That's exactly what you'll do to enter the Aquarium de La Rochelle! Go there to see sharks, jellyfish or even turtles up close!

In short, this city is coastal, pretty, and still very affordable (especially if you go there by cheap bus). And of course, you can't go to La Rochelle without visiting Île de Ré, Île d'Oléron or Fort Boyard, so don't forget to include them in your travel plans!

Taking a cheap bus to La Rochelle is very simple! Our bus comparison tool only asks you to enter your departure and arrival cities and your dates, then it finds you the best prices! From the classic Paris to La Rochelle to the more exotic Bordeaux to La Rochelle, it'll find every route you ask for: give it a try! :)
