Rare Turtles06 Posted March 20, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2016 La Rochelle has a very charming, historic Old Port (Vieux Port) area that is well worth walking around. Several towers you can climb if you'd like. Nice shops. I had the best Nutella crepe ever there. I can still taste it. :) Easy to do your own walking tour, there's plenty of info and maps on line. A truly pleasant port call; enjoy! (photo by turtles06) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairsin Posted March 20, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2016 We were there two years ago and spent a lovely morning wandering around the charming harbor area and checking out their great market. We followed this by stopping in at a little cafe and sampling their famous savory buckwheat crepes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatnot Posted March 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 25, 2016 We were there a couple of years ago also. Lovely town to explore. Would love to spend more time there. We were on a small cruise ship (112 passengers) and we docked inside the old German base from WWII. We were right by the submarine pens. It was an interesting docking experience. We were bused into the city. Not sure you can go there on your own. That port area was being used that day for loading grain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascot2012 Posted April 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 10, 2016 We are going to La Rochelle in June this year on P&O Azura, we are scheduled to dock at La Pallice which from what I understand is the main port for La Rochelle, does anybody know if shuttle buses are provided (free or chargeable) and if we can get a taxi into La Rochelle from the ship as this might well be a better option as we are a party of 4.
