La Rochelle, the ideal holiday destination!
If there is one must-visit destination during your holiday in the Charente-Maritime, it has to be La Rochelle, lying on the shores of the ocean and just opposite the Île de Ré.

Book your stay in a tent, caravan or mobile home then just sit back and enjoy the good life on the campsite! Sliding and bathing in the water park, tournaments on the multisports ground or petanque courts, exploring by bike, each day becomes a new adventure when camping with Sandaya!

With its promenade the length of the Vieux-Port, its pretty cobbled streets, cultural visits and ice cream shops, La Rochelle is a truly delightful spot to explore with the family.
