Imagine.

With the roof down, you drive along the still-quiet Old Port, the two medieval towers reflected in the water, the sea-scented air. No one glances at the other cars; everyone is looking at yours.

The Moke glides along the Cours des Dames, parks effortlessly near the market, and takes you to the Minimes beach at sunset. Silently. Without a drop of petrol. Just the wind.

La Rochelle without a Moke is possible. But so much less beautiful.

The most photographed car in the Old Port

First launched in 1964, the Moke – an icon of cinema and summer days by the water – is now back as a 100 % electric car. In La Rochelle, it ticks all the boxes:

• A 4-seater convertible – the whole gang on board
• Silent and emission-free: understated elegance
• M1-approved, Category B licence, all coastal roads
• Six colours: Shell White, Wave Blue, Sunset Orange, Sunlight Yellow, Eucalyptus Green, Palm Green
• Free test drive by appointment, purchase & lease, delivery anywhere in France

The Old Port nestled between the towers, the central market beneath the arcades, the ramparts and then the bridge to the Île de Ré: La Rochelle is best experienced in the open air, and so is the Moke. As a pioneering city in electric mobility, it was made to welcome it. Two hours’ charging at a Type 2 socket, and the Atlantic welcomes you to its quays.
