After breakfast, we set out with a local guide to explore traditional French markets and brocantes in and around La Rochelle.
This morning is intentionally slow and tactile. You’ll wander open-air market stalls filled with fresh flowers, seasonal produce, linens, ceramics, and everyday objects that make French life feel quietly beautiful. From there, we visit small antique shops and brocantes — places layered with history, where drawers are meant to be opened and nothing is rushed.
This experience isn’t about buying. It’s about learning how the French notice — how beauty is woven into daily life rather than reserved for special occasions.
Midday, we gather for a group lunch at a local restaurant.
The afternoon is left open and unstructured. You might return to a favorite shop, sit at a café with a book, journal back at the hotel, or simply wander without a destination. Dinner is on your own this evening.
