Scheduled to run throughout December, the end-of-year festivities are set to be another great opportunity for sharing, conviviality and eco-responsibility in La Rochelle. Residents and visitors to our maritime city will be out in force in the streets, squares and around the Old Port to celebrate the end of 2023 and get 2024 off to a good start with the ball on 1 January.
In Place de Verdun, renamed Place des Fêtes for the occasion, children and adults alike will be enjoying seasonal treats, discovering or rediscovering the joys of wooden games, laughing at the children's shows and dancing to the rhythms of the season. In the neighbourhoods, where mini Christmas villages will have sprung up as if by magic, around the Old Port, where markets and events will be the centrepiece of the festivities, in the streets and squares, where shops and 100% led illuminations will be providing the atmosphere, "indulging yourself" will be the leitmotif.
Monday 1er On 1 January, at the foot of the Saint-Nicolas Tower and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the New Year's Eve Ball will be the place to sing and dance for all those wishing to celebrate the new year and extend the festivities begun the day before with New Year's Eve. With garlands of lights in front of the stage and the old sailing ships of the Yacht Club Classique illuminated in the background, the décor promises to be magical, and this year should once again bring together thousands of people to the sound of music distilled by professionals chosen for their keen sense of festivity. Come and join in the fun during your stay at our hotel.
