Segway ride - La Rochelle Grand Littoral - 2h
Strong points
With this great tour, the seaside of the city of Rochelaise will no longer hold any secrets for you!
This tour is a much-appreciated "best seller". It allows you to discover La Rochelle's vast coastline, which stretches on both sides of the Vieux Port to the west and south!
The walk begins in the western part of La Rochelle, with the Old Port and its emblematic towers, the ramparts, and then the Plage de la Concurrence, reached by passing behind the city walls and a charming little wooden bridge spanning the old moat. From the Plage de la Concurrence, the stroll continues along a promenade overlooking the sea to the Parc d'Orbigny. Enjoy the splendid view of the Vieux Port channel...
This is the enchanting setting for the first part of the tour.
Next, head for the south of La Rochelle, passing through the Chaîne district and the Vieux Port, to appreciate the atmosphere and towers once again, and on to the Gabut, an old wooden fishermen's quarter located between the 2 shores of La Rochelle.
You'll then have the chance to walk along the Vieux Port channel, where you'll find a splendid spot to enjoy a breathtaking view of the towers and the entrance to the Vieux Port.
The ride continues along the Port des Minimes, Europe's largest marina, before reaching the Pointe des Minimes, its sandy beach and its unmissable panorama of the Phare du Bout du Monde lighthouse, the islands of Aix and Oléron and Fort Boyard, which stands proudly between the two ... a change of scenery guaranteed!
This unique experience is enhanced by the thrill of the Segway gyro-pod, a gentle, fun way of getting around that lets you take full advantage of the exceptional panoramas and varied landscapes on offer on this tour.
An unforgettable experience...a MUST!
