The Les Minimes district, in La Rochelle. Google Maps.
Les Minimes stretches south of La Rochelle, on the point that juts out into the bay. The district developed from the 1970s around its marina, one of the largest in Europe, with several thousand berths. It is now a recent, dense and lively area, very different from the historic centre.
The district is home to the campus of the University of La Rochelle, which gives it a young population and a marked student life. It has beaches, seafront promenades and a direct link to the Vieux-Port by the Yélo sea bus, which connects the two ports in about twenty minutes.
Prized for its maritime setting and its recent buildings with views, the Les Minimes area sits at the top of the La Rochelle market. The proximity of the water, the beaches and the marina, together with demand for second homes, sustains the highest prices in the city.
