We had a seat at the front. Well luckily we had earplugs with us. You are standing on a busy road where traffic rages until late in the evening and also very early. Sanitary facilities neat, shower water could be warmer. Do not cycle to Ile de Ré from the campsite, too much traffic. Easy to get to the city by bus

campsite is neat. Sanitary clean. If you navigate to the campsite, you first end up in a kind of industrial area with large shops that make you think: am I okay? But it's true. You will not notice anything of this environment at the campsite. “Bicycle path” to La Rochelle is indicated in French. First a few signs and then nothing more and you can just figure out where to go. Motorists are generally courteous to cyclists
