MARITIME FORTIFICATIONS OF LA ROCHELLE
Fortresses that protected the former war ports of La Rochelle, Brouage and Rochefort
The fortresses that lock the sea in the Charente channels - the best harbor on the Atlantic coast, it seems, sheltered by the islands of Ré and Oléron - protected the former war ports of La Rochelle, Brouage and Rochefort. All the forts (Vauban, Lupin...) can be visited, on foot at low tide or by boat, with the exception of Fort Boyard. The Chaîne and Lanterne towers are accessible; only the Saint-Nicolas tower is closed, as it is undergoing consolidation work.
