La Rochelle provides excellent opportunities for a respectable family vacation with children.
There you can relax on the deserted beaches of the Bay of Biscay, breathe in the brackish Atlantic air and delve into the medieval past of this wonderful corner of France with your children. A family vacation in La Rochelle with school-age children is a particularly interesting experience.
Aquarium
The Aquarium in La Rochelle is the first place to visit with your kids. Its territory covers about 8 thousand square meters. The aquarium is divided into several halls and represents the flora and fauna of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans, as well as the Mediterranean. The most vivid impression is made on tourists by the hall with a transparent window overlooking the ocean. There's also a dolphinarium that offers shows for the city's younger visitors.
Sea Trips
A vacation with children in La Rochelle is not without colorful boat trips and visits to oyster farms.
Beach vacations
If you've come to the Bay of Biscay coast for a beach and a splash in the ocean, the best vacation with children is on the island of Ré, located in the Bay of Biscay, 3km from La Rochelle. You can get to the island by car, cab or bus. You can book a room in the many hotels on the island and spend the whole vacation swimming and enjoying the beach.
