Where to stay in Saint-Maurice
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Stade Marcel-Deflandre is the address that brings visitors to Saint-Maurice, and a match day is the likeliest reason to want a bed within walking distance of it rather than in the older streets of La Rochelle. Le Rochelois is listed here too. Beyond those two, the register fills with school pitches and municipal halls in Mireuil and Laleu, which is a long way from a hotel row.

About Saint-Maurice
What are the main landmarks in Saint-Maurice?
Three names stand out of a long list. Stade Marcel-Deflandre, the Église du Sacré-Cœur de La Rochelle and Le Rochelois are the entries in Saint-Maurice that a visitor might set out to find, and everything after them belongs to the municipal roll of pitches and halls. Mireuil recurs constantly.
The boulodrome de Mireuil, the salle d'haltérophilie de Mireuil and the city stade Kennedy Mireuil sit alongside the terrains de tennis Aristide Briand and the plaine des jeux Colette Besson.
What is the history of Saint-Maurice?
No founding year is on file. Saint-Maurice reaches the record as one of the named quarters of La Rochelle, and what stands in for a chronicle is a building list: a church, a stadium and a run of school and municipal grounds put up for use. The Église du Sacré-Cœur de La Rochelle carries the only ecclesiastical name among them.
Nothing in the file dates it, and nothing dates the quarter either, so the centuries stay with La Rochelle rather than with the name Saint-Maurice.
Where is Saint-Maurice?
Saint-Maurice takes in a spread of La Rochelle where Mireuil, Laleu and port Neuf all turn up on one register of grounds and halls.
