Editing La Rochelle (section)

===Climate===
Under [[Köppen climate classification|Köppen's climate classification]], La Rochelle features an [[oceanic climate]]. Although at the same latitude as [[Montreal]] in Canada or the [[Kuril Islands]] in Russia, the area experiences mild weather throughout the year due to the influence of the [[Gulf Stream]] waters, the summers are relatively warm, and [[insolation]] is remarkably high—the highest in Western France, including sea resorts much further to the south such as [[Biarritz]]. La Rochelle seldom experiences very cold or very warm weather. These specific conditions – summer: dry and sunny, winter: mild and wet – have led to the establishment of a Mediterranean-type vegetation cohabiting with more continental and oceanic types of vegetation.
