A charming hotel about two blocks from the port of La Rochelle. The proprietor speaks very good English, was polite, friendly and professional. He gave us good dinner recommendations which resulted in us having a very enjoyable evening after an excellent meal. Breakfast in the morning was good and well worth the 13 euros he charged. He was attentive at breakfast as he was the previous evening checking us in. He advised us on parking (public parking was required but was not too expensive). The room was clean and reasonably sized and the hotel was quiet, off the beaten path.
