In the background you can see the towers which used to protect the port entrance. The port is now a haven for pleasure boats. Les Minimes, located 1.5 kms to the South is the largest man-made pleasure boat harbour in Europe.

The towers from the western sea view. Tour De La Chaine on the left and La Tour De Saint Nicholas on the right. La Rochelle's three towers are incredibly well maintained and one ticket will get you entrance to all three.

La Rochelle even has it's own beach. Small, very clean and close to the town center. To reach it you'll need to walk to the right of the Tour De La Chaine and simply follow the road and path until you reach the beach.
