Transport in La Rochelle

The best way to appreciate the beauty of the town is to walk its streets. As the heart of La Rochelle is not very big, it generally does not take very long to walk from one place to another.

You can also use the municipal bicycles.

For longer trips in and around the city, choose public transport by bus. The main bus station is on the central square, la Place de Verdun. The municipality also hires out electric cars. There are various "self-serve" parking areas for these vehicles, including the Place de Verdun.
