Gabut neighborhood

Highlight • Settlement

The promenade of La Rochelle is a very special highlight.

A visit to La Rochelle inevitably leads to the old port. Pretty much everything here is worth seeing. The old port and lighthouses, the cafes and restaurants invite you to linger. Just watch and enjoy.

You can't go past it. The port is the heart of the city. Lots of little bars and restaurants. The city is alive. There's so much going on here. Sailing regatta, a running event and and and.
