Towers of La Rochelle

Always looking towards the Atlantic Ocean, the towers of Saint-Nicolas, the Chaîne and the Lanterne seem to be in love with the ocean. They guard with suspicion one of the most beautiful harbors in the world, La Rochelle. The top of the towers offer the visitor with great views over the city. From the roof of the Torre de la Lanterne, the old port is full of candles that light the way to the bay, and in the distance the fort Boyard and the islands of Aix, Oléron and Ré seem to be almost a beautiful mirage. Over the years, these towers have witnessed major sea battles: sieges, invasions and military strategies which, for centuries, have kept it in the spotlight.

For us, this place will always hold a world of memories and experiences of living together. Studying for erasmus brought us together and 6 years later we are again taking steps together in this story, with all that it has entailed, travel, aircraft, sleepless nights, we are looking five years back to celebrate where we met in a wonderful drive where we could go back to places visited and remember those moments, and it all started here, this is my corner! I recommend that everyone takes the time to visit La Rochelle and its beautiful surrounding areas.
