La Rochelle

Submitted by Andrew.TyLaFontaine on

Life in La Rochelle overflows with energy as fishing boats unload their catch and cafés fill with the clatter of plates piled high with the area’s famed oysters and mussels. Order up your own plate and soak in the scene with a glass of pineau. Above it all rise the 14th-century Saint-Nicolas and Chain Towers, reminders of a city that once withstood the great siege of 1627. Climb the 147 steps of the 15th-century Lantern Tower for sweeping views over the city’s limestone roofs and the Atlantic beyond.
