La Rochelle Must-Sees

La Rochelle's maritime identity is defined by the three medieval towers guarding its Vieux Port: Saint Nicolas, the Chain, and the Lantern. The city's architectural landscape includes a 16th-century Renaissance Hôtel de Ville and the 18th-century Saint-Louis Cathedral. Cultural landmarks range from one of Europe’s largest private aquariums to the Natural History Museum, housed in a former governor's residence. The historic center is characterized by limestone facades and arcaded streets reflecting centuries of seafaring trade.
