To find out
what's on
, pick up the thrice-weekly
Sortir
from the tourist office, with theatre, cinema and mainstream and classical music listings. For

, head for the rue St-Nicolas: many bars line the streets, some offering
live music
and most with a lively atmosphere. An older crowd heads for rue des Templiers, where you'll find the
Piano Pub
, the
Mayflower
, the
St-James
and the
Academie de la Biere
.
Nightclubs
worth checking out include
L'Oxford
, plage de la Concurrence, and
Le Triolet
, 8 rue des Carmes.
La Rochelle is also host to the major
festival
of French-language music, Les Francofolies, in mid-July, which features musicians from overseas as well as France and attracts the best part of 100,000 fans to the city. Other useful information
