Ideas for La Rochelle

Boating in La Rochelle

La Rochelle opens onto the Pertuis, sheltered stretches of Atlantic water between the mainland and the islands of Ré, Aix and Oléron. It is a busy sailing hub, and day trips often head to one of the islands or out to Fort Boyard.

Where to go by boat

  • Île de Ré

    Saint-Martin-de-Ré’s harbour sits inside Vauban’s UNESCO-listed fortifications.

  • Île d’Aix

    Small car-free island with beaches and a fortified village.

  • Fort Boyard

    The famous sea fort between Aix and Oléron, seen from the water only.

  • Île d’Oléron

    Large island with long beaches, oyster harbours and the Chassiron lighthouse.

Tip: The tidal range here is large: check the tide times, as some harbours, such as Saint-Martin-de-Ré, can only be entered around high water.
