La Rochelle is a coastal city in Southwest France that is well-known as the center for fishing and trade back in the 12th century. It has always been seen as an oddity as it has never coincided with the stand that the rest of France has on Protestantism. The people have their eyes set solely on the ocean and have remained as firm Protestants today.
La Rochelle has many fascinating things to do. It is a true gem—the home of the remnants of the past. With its medieval towers and museums in the Old Quarter which brim with hundreds of years worth of history, traveling in the past is more likely than you would ever think it could be. So what are you waiting for?
Check out our top Airbnb vacation rentals in La Rochelle Maison that would allow you to fully experience the past like a true time traveler you have always wished you could be.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities.
