La Rochelle is a great town to visit for a few days. The best thing about La Rochelle is that the centre of town sits right on the harbour. The harbour is beautiful, full of yachts and boats and the entrance is guarded by two old stone towers. The Tour St Nicolas (Saint Nicolas Tower) is 42 meters high and looks like a small castle sat on the water. The Tour de la Chaine (The Chain Tower) was built between 1382 and 1390 and contains an exhibition about the migration of French people to Canada.
