La Rochelle
The fortified town of La Rochelle has built its splendor on and around the ocean. The cultural and architectural heritage of this one-time fishing village sheds light on its maritime vocation: the towers overlooking the Old Harbour, the big clock, the Renaissance houses that once belonged to shipowners, the arcaded shop-lined streets, the museums and not to forget the huge aquarium... At the Minimes Harbour, first european harbour on the atlantic coast, you’ll find the world’s most beautiful yachts and catamarans.
At the reception of Campsite Port-Punay you’ll find a box-office for the Aquarium and also a public transportation pass to visit La Rochelle. The bus stop is at only 100m from Campsite Port-Punay and the card will give you special prices on different tourist spots.

Rochefort
During the XVII century, the age of Colbert, Rochefort was the departure harbour for the major expeditions. Hundreds of vessels belonging to the marine have been built in Rochefort! The salvaging of the Corderie royale in the sixties and the more recent and altogether faithful reconstruction of the Hermione marked the beginning of a new start for the town.
At Campsite Port-Punay you’ll find public transportation passes to visit Rochefort : from the railway station in the center of Châtelaillon-Plage, at merely 2km from Campsite Port-Punay, you can spend an entire day in Rochefort. Don’t forget to visit l’Hermione and the Corderie Royale!
