Châtelaillon Beach

Highlight • Beach

Long beach of fine sand such as is seldom seen on the Atlantic coast.

The slope of the beach is gentle and the waves are small to ensure safe swimming. In addition, the beach is supervised in high season.

In low season, it is possible to practice sand yachting, canoeing and kite flying: this beach is lively all year round!

Gabut neighborhood

Highlight • Settlement

The promenade of La Rochelle is a very special highlight.

A visit to La Rochelle inevitably leads to the old port. Pretty much everything here is worth seeing. The old port and lighthouses, the cafes and restaurants invite you to linger. Just watch and enjoy.

You can't go past it. The port is the heart of the city. Lots of little bars and restaurants. The city is alive. There's so much going on here. Sailing regatta, a running event and and and.

The port of Les Minimes offers more than 5,000 places afloat for pleasure boats.

Despite its large size, this port is pleasant and bordered by a cycle path.

Rochefort Transporter Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In the 19th century, the only way to cross the Charente was by ferry. But this one was disturbed by the tides. It would have been necessary to build a bridge, but it would have blocked the maritime traffic, then very important on the Charente. It was therefore decided to build this transporter bridge, which was inaugurated in 1900.

The pylons and bridge deck are fixed. A mobile nacelle is suspended from the deck and circulates between the two banks of the Charente thanks to a trolley.

The transporter bridge operated from 1900 to 1967, then was replaced by a lift bridge, itself destroyed in 1991. The transporter bridge has resumed service and now allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross for €2 or €3 each way -feedback.
