Just an hours easy drive is La Rochelle and its  superb Aquarium; perfect for either a
very hot afternoon to escape the sun or a rainy day. Great even for young ones as most
tanks go down to ground level, so even the tiny ones can see. Does get very busy in
high season so again, top tip is to go early.
'There was so much
to see and do in the
area, 1 week wasn't
enough.'
