chirpy007 Posted January 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2009 P & O have changed ports from La Rochelle to Le Verdon. The ships excursions do not look too exciting and are quite expensive. From reading tripadvisor there isnt a whole lot going on at the port and it seems you are miles from anywhere with very little chance of escape. Can anyone help please.... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted January 4, 2009 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2009 We just took the shuttle that was provided by our ship over to the local town and walked around for a couple of hours. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberge Posted January 4, 2009 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Sometimes a port like this can be a real find..or not.....but, they make for a relaxing day just wandering around the town or if you really want to do an excursion maybe you will meet some people you could share with.

Globaliser Posted January 5, 2009 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I planned to stay on board, and loved the day. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcruisa1 Posted July 22, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Take a taxi to soulac which is a pretty little resort town nearby the port with good scenery and beaches, and plenty of restaurants. Verdon sur mer is also worth exploring in its own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrifish Posted July 24, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Our Celebrity cruise stops there in Sep. and we are in the same pickle. I understand that there are no taxis or rental cars available. The cruise line has no mention of a shuttle bus-- just very expensive tours to Bordeaux and the vinyards in the area. We are doing a tour 1 day but the second day we are there we wanted to do something local. Even the town of LeVerdon is too far away too walk.

This was a lovely seaside town with good pottery souvenir shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
