Apart from Arcarcharon there isn't anywhere.
I'd look at somewhere round la Rochelle - Rochefort if you must, but Marans (up the Sevre-Niortaise and through the Ecluse de Brault) would be my choice.
Do call it Donostia AND NOT San Sebastian if you want to have reasonable relations with the locals.
Probably the best place to eat out in the whole of Europe!!!

I second that, but would extend the comment to cover Euskalherria (Pais Vasco / Basque Country).

Zumaya is a pleasant marina and may have good hard facilities
Can second that. I did not consider anywhere further west than Donostia, as the question limited the scope to between La Rochelle and Donostia. However, I can confirm that Zumaya has good hard facilities, with plenty of space.
The marina has nothing to do with the shipyard, which, by the way, has built several oil rig support vessels, one named the Grampian something or other, and now working in the North Sea or in the Irish Sea.
