La Rochelle can be a great town to check out for several days. The best thing about La Rochelle is the centre of town sits right around the harbour. The harbour is beautiful, packed with yachts and boats along with the entrance is guarded by two old stone towers. The Tour St Nicolas (Saint Nicolas Tower) is 42 meters high and looks as being a small castle sat for the water. The Tour de la Chaine (The Chain Tower) was built between 1382 and 1390 and contains an exhibition about the migration of French people to Canada.

The harbour is full of very reasonably priced restaurants, a great place to get a relaxing lunch. In the evening the area transforms and fills on top of various entertainments made available from street artists, from music to gymnastics to fire eating. If you're trying to find something a bit more up-market go to the nearby Rue St Jean Du Perot that is filled with really interesting looking restaurants together with a Thai restaurant plus a highly recommended fish restaurant called André. We chose the Bistro Remi Massé which won top bistro prize in 2006 and are not disappointed.

From the harbour area walk over the beautifully decorated clock tower and you occur to be in one of the main shopping streets of La Rochelle. Here you will discover Pimkie, Camaieau, Promod and many more from the popular French shops. Around the corner readily available you can find Les Galaries Lafayette house designer collections or perhaps a walk towards the covered market reveals a lot of exclusive boutiques.

The covered market is a must. Inside is really a wonderful variety of high quality butchers, cheese shops, deli's there is definitely an amazing selection of cooked meals should you are planning with a good picnic. Delicious, however, not cheap. Outside inside mornings there's a quite large fruit and veg market.

Walking round La Rochelle one of my favourite sights could be the Maison Henri II (The House of Henri II). This is definitely an elaborate façade of a house but has the appearance of your looking for Romeo and Juliet. In front of it there is a lovely little courtyard garden. Perfect spot to halt and eat an ice cream! Another lovely spot will be the Cloister des Dames Blanches, a cloister having a pleasant garden plus an art exhibition decorating its walls. And yes, for other garden fans like myself don't miss the Jardin des Plantes that is behind the Natural History Museum. This is really a fantastic garden and contains many plants I could only imagine growing in a very greenhouse even though I live further south in France than La Rochelle. The museum is worth a visit too!
