La Rochelle is a city you run with the sea within reach, between medieval towers and the ocean front. The Old Port and its towers watch over the heart of town, Parc Charruyer unrolls a long green ribbon along the old ramparts, and the seafront runs flat and windy towards Les Minimes and Aytré. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Old Port quays at dawn, the Parc Charruyer avenues, the Les Minimes seafront, the coastal path. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Rochelais who knows the good, flat, rolling paths and the right tempo facing the open sea.
