| La Rochelle a great place to visit when staying in our child friendly gites |
Just 1hrs easy drive along clear country roads, even in summer, La Rochelle is a must for guests to La Grange du Moulin. Apart from being a great city to visit when
staying at our Child friendly gites it also has a fantastic Aquarium, brilliant for the little ones as the tanks go down to the ground.
For a 1000 years, La Rochelle, 'The Rebel' has manifested its unique identity in many ways. Democratic before democracy was fashionable (it elected its first mayor in
1199), Protestant whilst the rest of France was Catholic and protected by kings whilst the country was suffering from overtaxing.
Today it is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with fantastic shopping and world class restaurants. A place to see and be seen, cafes, sea food restaurants, great architecture
and street entertainers, no wonder it is Frances third most visited city and attracts over 3 million visitors each year.
