Might be good and warmer than here, but could be wet too.

I don't think theres enough in La Rochelle for a two week stay though. I stayed 2 days and I think I pretty well saw all of it.

If the weather dissapoints you can always go on to the Costa Brava which is usually good, and if the weather is good you could work your way gradually up the atlantic coast.:thumb:

We were in the Vendee near La Rochelle two Septembers ago. It was tropical. Warm sunshine and some downpours. Warm enough to swim in the pool most afternoons.
But the weather everywhere is unpredictable. We're going to France in September too but planning to say inland. The best bit of having a MH is that you can always move if you don't like the weather. :roflmto:

We stayed on the I'le de Re last September and the weather was glorious the whole time there. Great cycle tracks around the island. La Rochelle interesting to visit.:thumb:

Martin did you book sites before you went?

No we used Aires and ACSI. No problems anywhere.The municipal site at St Martin was convenient for the town, harbour, cycle tracks, supermarkets etc. The Aire was more or less next door and fine for a couple of nights - any longer and I would go back to the municipal. Be aware of the road toll across a lengthy (and high) bridge to get on the island.

Just agreeing what has been said already when you have seen all you want -in La-Rochelle cross the bridge to Ile-de-rae, one of our favorite places, we always use Camping cheque and stay at La Ocean, find this a good location in the center of the Island so can cycle any way from there.

As has been said St Martin, La Flotte, nothing like packing your picnic hamper on the back of your bike then stopping off at the local market getting fresh cheese wine ect and sitting under the trees at St martins or buying fresh oysters at La flotte, just a magic Island that we keep going back to.

Sorry I should have qualified this by saying to get the best out of the Island you really do need cycles to get around the miles and miles of traffic free cycle ways that link the villages and harbours. :Smile:

We always go to France in September - the weather has always been good from the Loire valley, through the Dordogne and further south can get almost too warm for us. You'll love it.

Well we are also going to France for the first time in September. Can't decide whether to go quite direct to the Dordogne or do La Rochelle first & drop down by the Gironde.
I would like to take a few days getting there, does anyone have a favourite route down that's scenic with nice town's & villages to stop off at?
I'm sure its all been covered before on one of the forums but if someone could point me in the right direction:Blush:

Its going to be busy in France in Sept. We are going over on the 7th, hopefully staying up north but will go where the sun is. The last time we went in Sept we had to go down as far as the Vendee for some good weather.
