At 22m2
+ 6m2 balcony, this studio's size is in-between our two other
studios - larger than an average hotel room, but as with our other studios, with
many extra facilities.
It is set in a unique central La Rochelle location "where old La
Rochelle meets the new" : right next to the vibrant Ville en Bois quarter, which is set at the entrance to the Old Port
of La Rochelle - just 15 mins walk from the studio.

The studio is on the first floor of a brand new, high quality Residence (with a lift
!), overlooking a decked courtyard with palms, terracing and seating and surrounded in
all directions by La Rochelle's best places to go : for further information

Newly built in 2006, the studio consists of :
 | a living/bed room with : sofa, coffee table, dining table & 2 chairs, TV/DVD,
CD/radio/cassette player, room safe, a direct dial telephone/answering machine
(enabling dial-up internet access if you bring a laptop) and a full sized
double bed* with quality mattress, which folds to the wall for daytime living
space (it is NOT a sofa-bed, klik-klak etc !) |
| in one corner of the room is a kitchenette with : 2 ring
hob, mini-oven & fridge with freezer compartment (for those G&T ice cubes !) |
|
an entrance lobby
with fitted wardrobe |
|
a shower room / WC, with a washing machine & heated towel
rail |
|

request ! |

and the ever popular "finishing touches" :
|
with your confirmation letter, you'll get our
information booklet - with everything from our favourite places to eat and
drink, to the all important opening times of local supermarkets - and of
course maps and directions for getting to the studio ! |
|
and waiting for you when you arrive : |
| an abundance of up to date tourist maps, guides and leaflets
- carefully organised to make it easy to find just what you want |
|
the studio Information Folder with details of everything from
the latest weather forecast, times of local markets, and information about how to use all
the studio's equipment |
|
initial supplies of tea, coffee, milk and sugar, so you can
have a cuppa to recover from your journey (or if you need something stronger
there's always the complimentary bottle of wine !) |
The studio is well equipped with heating for the cooler months, with wall mounted electric convector
heaters.
We're ashamed to say that some of the internal doors, are too narrow for wheelchairs to get through. Otherwise, the
facilities are quite accessible for people with mobility difficulties and there
is a lift from the ground floor.
This is the one studio (so far) in which guests with mobility
difficulties who use a mobility scooter and/or wheelchair have stayed - with
very positive feedback ! The surrounding area is relatively level, and being
newly developed there are more "wheelchair friendly" ramps around than in other
areas - although still not as many as there should be !
