A time in the heart of the student district - the CDIJ is now back in the heart of downtown. Run by Loïc Hug, the centre is still popular with young people who can find a wealth of information there. Admittedly, the place is only open on weekday afternoons, but it is possible to reach the teams by phone or on social networks in the morning, from 10 am. Before going there, Le Petit Futé advises you to have a look at the website which provides a lot of information: how to prepare your application, find a job, an internship...

It's a place where culture has its rightful place. The people of La Rochelle loved Michel Crépeau, and they love the media library named after him. The location is ideal, just a stone's throw from the town center in the Ville en Bois district. There's no doubt that once you step through the doors, you'll enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. On the first floor, there are a few colored armchairs for those who want to read newspapers and magazines, a relaxation area with coffee machine and another for the little ones who can even relax on carpets. A temporary exhibition room is also located here. Higher up, the spaces are ideal for reading and relaxing. In all, almost 200,000 books can be borrowed for an hour or a few weeks. Le Petit Futé invites you to settle down in one of the comfortable armchairs to read, of course, but also to enjoy an idyllic view of the channel and the towers. You can then walk back to the city center, or take the ferry to continue this moment of relaxation. Throughout the year, the media library offers a wide range of free events: readings, story times, film screenings, conferences... From Saturday July 8, the library will be undergoing a year-long energy-efficiency renovation. It will still be possible to borrow from other media libraries with the network card. From October 2, the media library will be present in the Arsenal building at its current opening hours, while the media bus will be parked on the media library forecourt until July 6, 2024.

The elected representatives have occupied this building since the end of the thirteenth century, which alone bears the spirit of independence of the city. Many Rochelais remember the terrible images of June 28, 2013, where a violent fire destroyed much of the building. The municipality wants to reopen this building to the public as a jewel of the Renaissance, one of the oldest in France. Thanks to the mobilization of all, many works have been saved from the flames and now everyone has a look towards the future. The restoration work began with the arrival of a 41 meter crane whose assembly was entrusted to the Compagnons de Saint-Jacques, whose aim was to accompany the first works of work. The great tarpaulin is still present, but everyone hopes to find the beautiful building that makes the city proud.
