Discovering La Rochelle with a Local

La Rochelle had always been on my radar, a charming coastal city in France that promised a blend of history, culture, and stunning views. As a digital nomad, I often find myself drawn to places that offer a unique perspective, and what better way to explore a city than through the eyes of a local? That’s how I found myself on a custom walking tour of La Rochelle, guided by the ever-knowledgeable Romain.

From the moment Romain reached out to me on WhatsApp, I knew I was in for a treat. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he was more than willing to tailor the tour to my interests. We started our journey with a brief overview of La Rochelle’s historical significance, which set the stage for the rest of the tour. As someone who loves to dive deep into the history of a place, I appreciated Romain’s thorough research and engaging storytelling.

One of the highlights of the tour was the discovery of hidden gems scattered throughout the city. Romain had a knack for uncovering spots that were off the beaten path, places I would have never stumbled upon on my own. From quaint little cafes to picturesque alleyways, each stop was a delightful surprise.

Romain’s passion for La Rochelle was evident as he shared stories and anecdotes about the city’s past. He even showed me photos on his phone of the inside of the City Hall, giving me a glimpse into areas not typically accessible to tourists. It was these personal touches that made the tour feel special and intimate.
