Our take
Hotel François 1er Cœur de Ville is a well-placed three-star: the Grosse Horloge and Musée des Beaux-Arts under a kilometre away, Concurrence Beach and the station within walking distance. Rooms are simple with a workspace and kettle, and breakfast caters for vegetarian and gluten-free diets. An 8.4 score from almost 2,300 reviews is reassuring. I would book it for a car-free weekend in La Rochelle.
