Converted van hire in La Rochelle

The converted van (Fiat Ducato, Adria Twin, Pössl…) is the sweet spot in La Rochelle: barely bulkier than a campervan, it adds real standing height, a wet room with shower and a permanent bed in the back. It is the favourite of couples on long trips — self-sufficient, discreet and parkable on a space and a half.
