La Rochelle: the art of celebrating the seasons

La Rochelle is more than just a postcard-perfect setting. Here, events set the rhythm of a vibrant, engaged, and creative city. As the home of nationally and internationally renowned festivals, the maritime city and its surrounding area foster a festive, curious, and open-minded spirit. From the quays of the Old Port to the intimate stages in its neighborhoods, La Rochelle keeps us buzzing all year round. From the Kite and Wind Festival that colors the sky in April to match nights in yellow and black at the Marcel-Deflandre Stadium, and the Marathon in November, the La Rochelle area masters the art of living… and of celebrating every season.
