Le Port des Minimes

Just a few minutes from the city center, the Port des Minimes is the largest marina on the French Atlantic coast. Opened in 1972, it now offers more than 4,700 berths, spread across 15 km of pontoons and nearly 70 hectares. An ideal setting for a stroll Along the quays, sailboats line up in a distinctly maritime atmosphere. The walk continues to Minimes Beach, offering open views of the ocean and the surrounding islands. A major sailing hub Each year, the port hosts major events such as the Grand Pavois, one of the world’s leading in-water boat shows. Blending modernity with maritime tradition, the Port des Minimes fully embodies the nautical spirit of La Rochelle.
