Hotel advice.
Posted: Mon August 17, 2009 06:14 PM UTC

I'm taking my 10 year old little boy to Futuroscope for 2 days with a cheap Ryanair flight. Last time I went I had my car so I didn't stay there. Should I get a hotel near the park or stay in Poitiers city centre? Is the bus service from the centre to the park good?

La Rochelle to Taizé
Posted: Fri September 12, 2008 11:33 PM UTC

Taizé is a little over 2 hours from La Rochelle. I am planning to go to Taizé for a week, but the only way I can figure out to get there is to take the train from La Rochelle up to Paris and then catch another train all the way back to Mâcon, taking more than 6 hours.

Is there a quicker way to get from La Rochelle to Taizé by public transport?

Thank you.

We are interested in staying at Le Bois Soleil campsite August 2008 (2 x adults, 1 x 8 year old). We were wondering if anyone could give us feedback on this site. Our unit is due to be based on La Foret area. Any info regarding where on the site this is, and where the kids play area is and where the entertainment area is would be very helpful.

Île de Ré

Travel Guide
Posted: Wed June 27, 2007 10:21 AM UTC

Hi

We are planning on visiting Ile de Re for the first time in September. Trying to find a hard copy guide to compliment all th eweb information I am getting. However, can't seem to locate one. Any tips?

Specifically want to try and find and apartment with some sort of balcony or terrace, either harbourside or village central. Doesn't have to be that fancy! Just somewhere to sit out side (even if it is only two chairs) would be great.

big thanks

La Rochelle
Posted: Sat January 29, 2005 01:56 PM UTC

Hi i'm going back to La Rochelle agin for the whole summer, i'm going to be there in June and will stay until end of August. I was there last summer and my verdict was that this place is a little paradise, it has a cool party atmosphere. I met a cool Indian guy called Patrice who owns a pub there, if your out there get in contact or if anyone who knows him can let me know of his whereabouts.
Are there any other English speaking people who are going to La Rochelle this Summer and who might want to meet up, share accomodation and party together, don't hesitate to leave a message
