Comment
The Vieux-Port is the oldest port of La Rochelle and the historical heart of this city of Charente-Maritime (Nouvelle-Aquitaine). The Chain Tower and the Saint-Nicolas Tower guard the entrance to this medieval port.It is thanks to this port that La Rochelle became important during the Hundred Years War, then with the discovery of America.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Old Port of La Rochelle drained more than half of the colonial traffic to New France, which makes it a place of pilgrimage for many tourists today. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vieux-Port_de_La_Rochelle
