Sure Hotel by Best Western Rochefort-sur-Mer

Near the A10 motorway, the Sure Hotel by Best Western Rochefort-sur-Mer, Tonnay-Charente, France, is a contemporary, fully renovated three-star with a bar, free parking, a fitness room, and air conditioning, an easy base for a business trip or a holiday with family or friends, well placed for the coast and the motorway. The rooms run from classic to junior suite to suit every kind of traveller, and the town's station and the high-speed links to La Rochelle are a short hop away. The practical setting keeps the region within easy reach. Rochefort was built as Louis XIV's great naval arsenal on a bend of the Charente, and it keeps the spirit of the sea, from the vast Corderie Royale rope-works and the dry dock where the frigate Hermione was rebuilt to the writer Pierre Loti's exotic house, with the river, the transporter bridge, and the beaches and islands of the Atlantic coast close by. Along the Charente, the old arsenal walls still line the working river.
