Accessibility
Although the studio is not large enough for guests to use a wheelchair inside, guests with mobility difficulties who use a mobility scooter and/or wheelchair to get around outside the studio 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.
Outside
The apartment has a full width balcony, equipped with two steamer style chairs and a table and chairs for alfresco eating. The balcony overlooks the residence's decked courtyard with palms and olive trees.
Coast/Beach
5 minutes walk to the seafront. 10 minutes walk to the sandy beach at Minimes, with bars and restaurants overlooking the beach and the surrounding marinas.

The studio is easily accessible, with no need to have a car - 20min taxi ride from La Rochelle airport, with direct flights from UK and elsewhere. 10min taxi ride from the rail station – with high speed TGV trains from the UK. If you prefer to drive, or hire a car, there is easy access to the autoroute network (just 4 hours from the Channel ports). Once there, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to get around La Rochelle and its surrounding areas, whether by foot, boat, train or bus.
