It was quick and easy to leave my luggage here while I walked around Brussels. Good pricing, and open late on a Sunday! Its easy to miss as the sign on the door is relatively small. Its colocated at a cellphone repair shop. Would definitely use again in Brussels, and will look for Radical Luggage in other cities, too.

Малко странен гърдероб за багаж, това е магазинче за хранителни стоки, влизате сканират ви кода, взимат багажа и го прибират в скалада ????, но всичко става много бързо и нямаше никакви проблеми, както пставихме багажа, така ни го върнаха.

The place was a little bit hard to find. At first, I thought there was a storage facility with a pin code, but it turned out that the restaurant itself was the one providing the storage service. However, the staff were helpful, and my bags were kept safe! It was a really nice experience. I would definitely recommend it, and it was very affordable.

Things to do in La Rochelle

La Rochelle is a captivating Atlantic port city with a rich maritime heritage, stunning medieval architecture, and a vibrant cultural scene. From legendary towers to world-class marine life, here are some of the best things to do in La Rochelle:

1. Discover the Vieux Port and the Three Towers: Maritime Icons

It's impossible to speak about La Rochelle without mentioning its legendary harbor and towers. The Vieux Port has been the city's beating heart for centuries, and its entrance is guarded by three magnificent medieval towers that form one of France's most recognizable silhouettes. The Tour Saint-Nicolas, rising 42 meters, served as both fortress and residence. The Tour de la Chaîne, named for the chain once stretched across the harbor to block enemy ships, offers panoramic views. The Tour de la Lanterne, the oldest lighthouse on the Atlantic coast, features haunting graffiti carved by prisoners over the centuries. Together, these towers tell the story of La Rochelle's importance as a fortified port and its turbulent history, including the famous siege of 1627-1628. Walking the ramparts and climbing the towers offers spectacular views of the harbor and city. Whether you're drawn by history, architecture, or simply the romance of the sea, the Vieux Port is an absolute must-see.

You can learn more about visiting the Three Towers here.

2. Explore the Aquarium de La Rochelle

The Aquarium de La Rochelle is one of Europe's largest private aquariums, admired for both its marine diversity and immersive presentation.

Located near the Vieux Port, this world-class facility houses over 12,000 marine animals representing 600 species from the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Indo-Pacific. Highlights include the shark tunnel, the mesmerizing jellyfish gallery, the sea turtle rehabilitation center, and the tropical reef exhibit. The aquarium's commitment to conservation and education makes it far more than a simple attraction.

This extraordinary window into the underwater world offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. The Aquarium de La Rochelle represents the city's deep connection to the ocean and its dedication to marine preservation.

3. Stroll Through the Arcaded Old Town

La Rochelle's historic center is uniquely charming, distinguished by its elegant arcaded streets that have sheltered merchants and pedestrians since the Middle Ages. The covered passageways, supported by graceful stone arches, create a delightful atmosphere for shopping and strolling whatever the weather. The Rue du Palais and Grande Rue des Merciers showcase beautiful Renaissance and medieval facades, half-timbered houses, and artisan shops. Don't miss the Hôtel de Ville, featuring a stunning 15th-century Gothic façade and Renaissance courtyard, or the Grosse Horloge, the monumental clock gate that once marked the entrance to the old town. The harmonious blend of architectural styles, from medieval timber frames to elegant 18th-century townhouses, makes La Rochelle's old town a joy to explore.

4. Escape to Île de Ré

The Île de Ré is a beloved island destination just across the bridge from La Rochelle, offering a perfect escape of whitewashed villages, cycling paths, salt marshes, and beautiful beaches. The island is best explored by bicycle, with over 100 kilometers of dedicated cycle paths winding through charming villages like Saint-Martin-de-Ré (a UNESCO-listed fortified town), Ars-en-Ré with its distinctive black-and-white church spire, and La Flotte with its medieval market. The salt marshes produce the famous Fleur de Sel, while the beaches range from family-friendly sandy stretches to wilder Atlantic shores.
