Studio - Ville en Bois
About the home
The apartment is new and very well equipped with great attention to detail (see Guestbook below !). It is set in a unique central La Rochelle location 'where old La Rochelle meets the new', right next to the vibrant Ville en Bois quarter, which is set at the entrance to the Old Port of La Rochelle, just 15 minute walk from the studio. Just 5 minutes to seafront and 10 minutes to Minimes marina, beach, bars and restaurants.
All La Rochelle attractions are within easy walking, or cycling distance, but if you feel lazy 2 bus routes stop outside your door. If you have your own car, all major routes are easily accessible and secure underground car parking is provided. You will soon find why La Rochelle is "the most attractive and unspoilt seaside town in France".
The owners also have another apartment available in a different location in La Rochelle : in the Parcs area of La Rochelle. Again for 2 people. For further information, including availability, please see the owners website (link below).

This studio was extremely well equipped and comfortable. We appreciated the provision of bed linen, towels, safe and beach mats. Also provided was a "welcome" pack of tea, coffee, milk and wine! It's location was very good, especially once we had bought our travel pass - bus stop right outside, one mile to the water bus and just over a mile to the tourist office to hire bikes. The neighbourhood was very clean and quiet. Our contact with the ownners was very prompt, accurate and helpful throughout. We have no hesitation in recommending this studio to others. |
