We had a great weekend full of wine and delicious food, and we returned to La Giraudi\u00e8re very relaxed and a bit more tanned thanks to some time at the beach! There was lots of things to do, for example we climbed the three towers of La Rochelle- this\u00a0would be difficult for those who are scared of heights, but the views are worth it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/francofolies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7299 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/francofolies-300x239.jpg\" alt=\"francofolies\" width=\"236\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/francofolies-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/francofolies-150x119.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/francofolies.jpg 565w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While we were there, there was a music festival- &#8216;Les Francofolies de La Rochelle&#8217;. This festival takes place every year and features only French speaking singers and musicians. We didn&#8217;t buy tickets to access the main stage, but there were still lots of smaller stages and other stands to enjoy, and the general atmosphere of the city was fantastic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/groupes-musique.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7325 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/groupes-musique-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"groupes-musique\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/groupes-musique-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/groupes-musique-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/groupes-musique-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/groupes-musique-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/groupes-musique.jpg 1613w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In particular, the nightlife was amazing. At night, lots of small music groups play in the streets and the local people dance to their music. The bars were also very lively and had the best mojitos in France! We had lots of fun and we would definitely recommend a visit to La Rochelle.<\/p>\n<p>Pour lire ce post de blog en fran\u00e7ais, cliquez ici:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lagiraudiere.com\/blog\/voyage-la-rochelle\/\">Un voyage \u00e0 La Rochelle<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volunteers explore La Rochelle during the weekend &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Once the working week is finished, the volunteers at La Giraudi\u00e8re have the freedom to choose how to spend the weekend.
