La Rochelle is a coastal city in southwestern France and capital of the Charentes-Maritime department.
It’s been a center for fishing and trade since the 12th century, a maritime tradition that’s reflected in its Vieux Port (old harbour) and huge, modern Les Minimes marina.
The old town has half-timbered medieval houses and Renaissance architecture, including passageways covered by 17th-century arches.
