Things to see and do Pays Rochelais

When passing by the rue Aufrédy, look up! You will be surprised to see a bell tower in the middle of the houses! It is the last vestige of the Saint-Barthélemy church. It is still today the witness of the tensions between Catholics and Protestants because it is the only one to have survived the demolition of the church by the Protestants in 1568. The monument is currently being renovated, the first major work undertaken since the end of the ^19th century.
