La Rochelle's waters, in practice
The Pertuis d’Antioche, semi-sheltered water between Ré, Aix and Oléron — one of the richest sailing basins on the Atlantic. Wind-wise: prevailing westerlies, dependable summer thermals and strait currents that matter as much as the wind.
Departures, day-trip classics and season
Departures: the Minimes marina, one of the largest in Europe, and the Vieux-Port between its two medieval towers. The local classics: Saint-Martin-de-Ré, little car-free Île d’Aix, Fort Boyard and Boyardville on Oléron. High season: from May to September, as befits France’s sailing capital.
