Restaurants and shopping

La Rochelle is full of great places to eat, and seafood is obviously a speciality. The shopping here is also fantastic, from small independent boutiques to larger department stores, all catering to a very style conscious crowd. The Ile de Re is becoming a more and more trendy place to visit, attracting the celebrities that used to haunt St Tropez, and yet still managing to stay a lovely place. The restaurants at St Martin de Re and La Flotte are exceptional, and great places for watching the world go by. Shopping at St Martin is very good and surprisingly reasonable. There is an excellent restaurant / creperie / bar right on the edge of our village, just a 10 minute walk away. Run by very friendly Belgians, La Ferme Flamande is open every lunchtime and Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. Great plat du jours for 10 euros, and a wonderful selection of crepes. Other good local restaurants in Surgeres, Arcais, Coulon.
