Long comment
La Rochelle, a fortified city which has a love affair with the sea.
The city has built its wealth on maritime trade, and until the fifteenth century, it was the most important French Atlantic port.
La Rochelle, the beautiful stop-over.
A real open-air museum, the historical centre of La Rochelle is full of architectural treasures. Representing all periods of history, the medieval streets with arcades, the Renaissance buildings such as the Town Hall, and the eighteenth century mansions of the great ship-owners.
The Aquarium at La Rochelle, is a must for all the family!
This is one of the largest aquariums in Europe. Open all year round for you to discover the mysterious world of the ocean.
The aquarium is much more than a tourist site - it also takes the lead on environmental and ecological issues, especially for the blue planet but also for its interest in organic greenhouses, natural remedies, educational missions, and a scientific approach to the maritime world. Above all, the organisation has a mandate of eco-responsibility.
Come and discover this site, a fascinating visit for all the family.
