Hello and welcome to Escale Rochelaise

I'm Vanessa. I fell in love with a French man 30 years ago. Travelled until I was in my 30's and with two kids in tow, we chose France as our nest.

Ile de Ré, La Rochelle country side, a move to the UK until we found our 'forever home' here in La Rochelle city center a few years ago.

I look forward to greeting and meeting you.

You can come and stay in Escale Rochelaise year-round. Depending on the date will depend what is available. Two choices :

"Private room" without breakfast

"Vacation home" where you have the keys and the home is yours

The spa and sauna in the ZEN DEN are open year round and available to everyone. Spa is heated to 38,5° and delicious in the winter. The sauna gives you a Finnish experience and for those that dare - a cold bucket challenge awaits!! or if you are like me, an outdoor standard shower is just fine!

A little tip, if you do not see availability, check-out another format as chances are, you'll find something there.

2 OPTIONS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM

ROOM & SPA ONLY

We have 5 bedrooms in the guest houses. Our aim is for you to feel at home 'away from home'. You'll be sharing the house with other guests and family but I most likely won't be around.

Access to the spa and sauna area is included with all reservations. I encourage daily unlimited usage. Trust me. A haven of green, warmth & relaxation.

All meals are had off the premises however I strongly encourage using the garden when the weather is good to have lunch, dinner or treat yourselves to an apéro. The market is 7 days a week and literally just steps away.

To help assist all guests in their meal quests, I have created a virtual guidebook which gives my tips & tricks for La Rochelle (breakfast places, restaurants, activities ...). You could say the guide is me but in the virtual format!
