The area
A reputed and dynamic medieval naval shipyard
the town of Rochefort dates from the
17th Century. At the mouth of the river Charente, it is a very
pretty town and harbour and the main street is
exactly as it was back in history, complete
with lime trees and cobblestones. The royal
arsenal and rope works have been beautifully
restored and now host the Centre International
de la Mer, well
worth visiting. Along the Charente river the
hinterland is peaceful and shelters many
conservation areas and bird sanctuaries. The
Marennes regional
park is a must, home to the famous Marennes oyster beds.
Around Rochefort
the flat coastline offers a wide variety of
fine sandy beaches and is ideal for walking and
cycling. The region benefits from a fine
climate year round which makes it a favoured
destination. A charming and relaxing place
Rochefort is only
30 minutes from the medieval regional capital
of Saintes.
