Workation in La Rochelle: the essentials
Two medieval towers still guard the entrance to the old harbour, a reminder of the free port that held out against Richelieu in the siege of 1627 and 1628. La Rochelle has about 78,500 residents, arcaded streets, a university and a very large marina, and the 2.9 km bridge to the Île de Ré puts that island's cycle paths and beaches within easy reach. It is flat and made for getting around by bike, with a few coworking spaces. Trains to Paris take around three hours, and the small airport is only about 4 km from the centre, with many routes running only in season. The city beaches are small, and summer brings heavy visitor numbers.
