Itinerary
Yes, it is a bell tower that you see there, in the middle of the houses!
You enter the Rue Saint-Nicolas, the heart of the district of the same name and one of the unmissable passages of the city.
No, you are not dreaming, you are still in La Rochelle! Welcome to the Gabut district, so special that we would almost wonder if we have not changed city, or even country...
On your left is the famous La Rochelle Aquarium, one of the city’s top attractions. And for good reason, it is one of the largest aquariums in Europe!
This view is breathtaking, isn’t it? In addition to the ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see on your left, this viewpoint offers you a glimpse of the three towers of the city, testimony to its past as a fortified city from the 12th century.
We are here at the foot of the Saint Nicholas Tower, the oldest in La Rochelle. True symbol of the sovereignty of the city, its construction is the subject of a very special legend
What could be better than strolling the Old Port of La Rochelle? Bars, restaurants, ice cream or churro shops depending on the season, the Old Port remains lively in all circumstances.
You can't miss it... Delimiting the passage from the Old Port to the Old Town, the Gate of the Big Clock is an emblematic monument of the city and certainly one of the oldest.
At 24 metres high, the Chain Tower is the smallest of the three towers in La Rochelle.
The only vestige of the city walls, the street on the Walls was spared by Richelieu who chose not to destroy this part of the walls
Surprisingly white, the Lantern Tower is the oldest lighthouse on the Atlantic coast.
You may have noticed from afar, this pretty house has nothing to do with the other buildings of the city.

About La Rochelle
La Rochelle is an Atlantic port in western France with a medieval harbour guarded by two towers, arcaded streets and islands within easy reach.
La Rochelle grew rich as a trading port, and the old harbour is still guarded by the Tour Saint-Nicolas and the Tour de la Chaîne, between which a chain was once hung to close the entrance. In the 16th and 17th centuries the town was a Protestant stronghold, and it fell to Cardinal Richelieu after a siege of more than a year in 1627 and 1628.
