The arcades are as much an attraction as the towers

Like the towers and the Vieux Port, these stone arches are one of the symbols of the maritime city. The people of La Rochelle may not pay them much attention any more, but they're delighted to take shelter in them when it rains, or to enjoy a little shade on a hot summer's day. That's what makes arcades so special: in the Middle Ages, they were used to protect stalls from the elements. Many downtown streets are equipped with them: Saint-Jean-du-Pérot is a popular spot for gourmets, while l'Escale appeals more to the curious.

Très belles arcades anciennes qui donnent beaucoup de cachet à la ville et nous permettent de flâner à travers celle-ci bien abrité. Ces arcades abritent aussi de très belles boutiques, bienvenues après une visite culturelle.

Le coeur de ville est agrémenté d'arcades où l'on peut dénicher de très belles boutiques. Pratique quand on veut faire du shopping par temps de pluie. Toutes les grandes enseignes de prêt à porter sont représentées.

Magnifique balade, qui laisse évoquer les senteurs des étals, et l'animation passée... la préservation de ces monuments est importante !

Quel plaisir de marcher sous ces belles arcades anciennes qui longent quelques rues de la ville de La Rochelle. La pierre blanche du pays vous abrite du soleil et de la pluie et vous mène le long des magasins d' un point à l' autre de la ville

Les rues qui gardent leur anciennes arcades sont vraiment sympa. Ça nous préserve de la circulation et donne un côté atypique à nos promenades.
