The most famous sites in La Rochelle

At the Tour Saint Nicolas, you can discover the royal chambers where the monarchs stayed, and at the Tour de la Chaîne, the place where exhibitions were held and taxes collected for the port. At the Lantern Tower, you can also admire the place where ships were disarmed and where the prison was later located. This tower also once served as a lighthouse.
Another great attraction of La Rochelle is the Vieux Port, which was an important trading post in the Middle Ages. From the quay, you can admire the magnificent towers. Don’t hesitate to sit down on a terrace to take full advantage of the view. From the old port, you can also walk into the old town to soak up even more culture. Visit the extraordinary Town Hall, for example, whose structure combines Gothic and Renaissance styles.
