Rochefort

Although Rochefort is not very well known, you can easily spend a day there without getting bored. Here we give you some of the most famous attractions. We leave aside the Island of Oleron which is too touristy and especially too crowded.

In the city center, a few steps from the port and the Corderie Royale, you will find a free parking lot for more than 1000 vehicles.

• Fort Boyard; known by TV and symbol of the Charente-Maritime
• The frigate Hermione
• La Corderie Royale
