10 Churches & Cathedrals in La Rochelle That You Shouldn't Miss
September 13, 2021 Cedrick Jardin
Located on the Bay of Biscay, La Rochelle’s history mostly involved the sea; today it has a large pleasure-boat marina. Thus its heart is the picturesque "Vieux Port" ("Old Harbor"). The city retains a rich architectural heritage, and has an aquarium, attractive gardens and a natural-history museum. Book early for summer; mid-July in particular features Francofolies, a huge French music festival.

An imposing structure from the outside, yet pleasingly simple inside. The stained glass windows are attractive and the model boats are a nice touch. There are also concerts in the church from time to time.
