Public transport La Rochelle

In addition to the bus service, Yélo is also a car-sharing service combining two systems: electric cars (black roof) to be picked up spontaneously and dropped off wherever you wish within the authorized perimeter, and hybrid cars (yellow roof) to be reserved and returned to their point of departure. A total of 48 vehicles of different sizes are available for short journeys in the conurbation, or trips lasting several days. Membership and subscription are totally free: you only pay for what you use! A practical, economical and comfortable way to get around the city, the region and beyond, as you please. Once you've signed up, using the service is very simple: all you have to do is geolocate and, if necessary, reserve the car using the Yélomobile application. The vehicle is opened with a badge or the app. Once you're inside, you collect the key using a confidential code, and all you have to do is drive off! If you already subscribe to the CITIZ car-sharing service elsewhere in France, you can access Yélomobile simply by asking your usual operator. Reciprocally, as a Yélomobile user you have access to the 170 cities in the Citiz network!

In La Rochelle, the ocean is never far away. While the people of La Rochelle love to stroll along the Old Harbour, many also take the Sea Bus, an easy link between the city center and the Minimes district. It's a great way to get to an area renowned for its many restaurants, its famous ice cream parlour and its beach. From the pier, located at the foot of the Chaîne tower, the boat offers a 20-minute mini-cruise. Quiet and environmentally-friendly, the Sea Bus is a great way to get around, especially during the summer months.

If you feel like traveling around the department, you can use these regional coach lines. With the car+bus pass, you can get around Charente-Maritime as well as the larger towns (La Rochelle, Saintes...). And if you fancy a trip to the Ile de Ré, opt for line 3, which runs from Monday to Sunday. Not only is the fare attractive, but many buses use biofuels, limiting their environmental impact.
