Make sure you have enough gas in the tank, because La Rochelle is well worth a detour. Situated 25 miles from Mauze-sur-le-Mignon, it offers some fantastic attractions, such as Tour St. Nicolas and La Rochelle Hotel de Ville. Nothing says living it up like a road trip does, so keep on cruising to Saintes. It’s 30 miles away and also features a few attractive sights, such as Saintes Amphitheatre and Arch of Germanicus.
