La Rochelle

- "the most attractive and unspoilt seaside town in France "^*

- & your year round get-away

... why stay in a hotel, when you could relax in your own "home from home" in one of our centrally located studio apartments :

all the comfort of a quality hotel room (and more !)

but with your own privacy and independence

with a balcony to sit out on for "petit dejeuner" or that early evening bottle of wine

in high quality private residences (not holiday complexes !)

each furnished & equipped as a comfortable & individual "home from home", rather than as a non-descript, characterless holiday property

with all inclusive prices - no extra charges (many others charge extra for bath towels, parking, tourist tax, etc - click here to compare !

available to be booked by the night (minimums booking periods apply - see availability)

within a few minutes walk of the centre of La Rochelle and the Old Port

with a kitchen (or kitchenette) so you can cater for yourselves when you choose (with dishwasher or washing machine)

ideal for couples (or 2 good friends prepared to share a double bed !)

we can provide a child's bed for 2 of the studios. (A small well behaved dog may be considered for the Studio du Parc Franc Delmas. Sorry - the other studios aren't suitable for pets)

With facilities you won't find together in a hotel room, including :

sitting room area

direct phone line (enabling dial-up internet access if you have a laptop)

TV (with DVD or video)

music system

safe

extensive information about places to visit, eat and drink

starter supplies of tea, coffee, milk and all household products

	With easy access (10 mins !) from the airport & train station : no need to hire a car !
	and just 15 mins from the motorway network if you prefer to drive : in which case each studio has private parking available
	all at a price that is the same as you'd pay for a boring hotel room : from 55€ or £40 pn
	with singles discount available, if you fancy a break on your own : car(e) free and single in La Rochelle!!

and with quality & reliability assured : we've been successfully letting properties in the UK for over 12 years and here in France for 5 years - with over 50% of bookings being from returning guests !!

PERFECT FOR A SPRING BREAK :

	enjoy up to twice as much sunshine per day as UK and Ireland (and more !)
	with most months 20-30% warmer than UK and Ireland !
	take advantage of cheap travel deals, by air or ferry
	revel in the quiet beaches, bars, restaurants, roads & countryside
	you could even treat yourself to a Twin Centre "town and countryside" break in our countryside gite, just over an hour from La Rochelle !!

To see for yourself why you should visit during the quieter seasons (October - May) : click here

and don't just take our word for it :

"T-shirts are the norm in October. The belle saison now stretches from April to October with frequent sparklingly fine, warm days outside of these months. Rochelais (local people of La Rochelle) keep up the Christmas rendez-vous, turning out in droves to bask on the sunny terraces outside cafes and bars along the Vieux Port"

(French News. November 2005)
