Towers of La Rochelle

What to expect

These three vertiginous towers were medieval fortifications that protected the capital of Aunis from sea invasions. Built majestically against the Atlantic Ocean, they served not only as a defensive role but also as arsenal, keep and daymark. The Lantern Tower, is home to the oldest and highest lighthouse in the Atlantic. The Tower of the Chaîne had a gunpowder magazine. Its architecture has given rise to a labyrinthine and playful itinerary that is sure to delight young and old alike.
