La Rochelle can be a great town to go to for a few days. The smartest thing about La Rochelle is that the centre of town sits right for the harbour. The harbour is beautiful, packed with yachts and boats and the entrance is guarded by two old stone towers. The Tour St Nicolas (Saint Nicolas Tower) is 42 meters high and appearance as being a small castle sat around 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 visitors to Canada.

The harbour is filled with very inexpensive restaurants, a fantastic place for a relaxing lunch. In the evening the area transforms and fills up with various entertainments provided by street artists, from music to gymnastics to fire eating. If you might be trying to find something just a little more up-market visit the nearby Rue St Jean Du Perot that's brimming with really interesting looking restaurants together with a Thai restaurant plus a strongly suggested fish restaurant called André. We chose the Bistro Remi Massé which won top bistro prize in 2006 and just weren't disappointed.

From the harbour area walk with the beautifully decorated clock tower and you might be in a from the main shopping streets of La Rochelle. Here you will discover Pimkie, Camaieau, Promod and lots of more in the popular French shops. Around the corner from all of these you can find Les Galaries Lafayette house designer collections or even a walk on the covered market reveals lots of exclusive boutiques.

The covered market is often a must. Inside is really a wonderful variety of excellent butchers, cheese shops, deli's where there is surely an amazing selection of cooked meals in the big event you are planning on the good picnic. Delicious, although not cheap. Outside in the mornings you will find there's quite large fruit and veg market.

Walking round La Rochelle among my favourite sights could be the Maison Henri II (The House of Henri II). This is an elaborate façade of an house but has the design of the set for Romeo and Juliet. In front of it you will find there's lovely little courtyard garden. Perfect spot to halt and eat an ice cream! Another lovely spot may be the Cloister des Dames Blanches, a cloister which has 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's behind the Natural History Museum. This is a fantastic garden and contains many plants I could only imagine growing inside a greenhouse though I live further south in France than La Rochelle. The museum is worth a visit too!
