With the La Rochelle Océan Pass
Unlimited travel
With the La Rochelle Océan Pass, you can use the Yélo public transport system in the La Rochelle area free of charge and without restriction: ferry, sea bus and city bus, offering a range of ways to travel between the surrounding towns.
The La Rochelle Océan Pass also allows you to travel as often as you like on the Nouvelle-Aquitaine TER train between La Rochelle, Rochefort, Saintes and Niort. All intermediate stations on these routes are accessible: the ideal option for exploring the surroundings of La Rochelle without a car and visiting the sites included in the La Rochelle Océan Pass.
10 Nouvelle-Aquitaine regional bus routes are also included at no extra cost. This is a great opportunity to easily reach destinations that are less well served by train.
Ré Island, Oléron Island, Marans, Surgères, Courçon, Royan... all these places can be reached without a car and in complete freedom. A real alternative for exploring the La Rochelle hinterland, enjoying a beach a little further away or visiting a partner site of the pass.
