The best hobbies and leisure activities La Rochelle

If you're looking for something new to do with friends or family, don't hesitate to enter the Temple. This playful space offers a wide range of games! You'll find two escape game rooms, accessible from age 10, in which you'll need to pay close attention to succeed in your mission. You can also try your hand at the Enigma challenge, enter one of the four action game rooms and even try your hand at karaoke! The play bar is the perfect place to take a break over a drink in a setting of Inca ruins.

If you'd like to learn how to cook, this is the place to do it. Located just a stone's throw from the town center, close to the Bassin des Chalutiers, it is the brainchild of Grégory Coutanceau. People come here to share a convivial moment with the chefs and learn the techniques and secrets to improve their skills. Different workshops are offered, so that everyone can find the one that suits their tastes. "Le plat est prêt", a one-hour class to learn how to make a dish for two (pollack, chicken breast curry, duck aiguillettes), "Secrets de chefs", 1h30 to learn all the chef's tricks and secrets around a theme, from cooking to dressing and seasoning (meat tartars and carpaccio, ballottines, risotto in two versions), or "Signature Grégory Coutanceau" to discover his finest recipes. And let's not forget the children's workshops with "Les p'tits cuistos" to help them discover textures, smells and aromas, and the inevitable pastry classes to learn how to prepare desserts with rigor and creativity.

If you're a photo enthusiast, head for Carré Amelot! This cultural space in La Rochelle offers several workshops to help you improve your skills. This one focuses on the acquisition of different black & white silver techniques, through a technical program. Participants can learn how to handle the camera and understand its main functions. Another workshop, entitled "Regard à l'oeuvre, développer un projet photographique personnel", is organized around the discovery of works of art, as well as meetings with artists and professional photographers. Both courses require a personal investment.
