You don't have to be an architecture buff to enjoy an excursion to Tour de la Lanterne. This famous tower has an interesting history and stands head and shoulders above the rest!
You'll be spoiled for sightseeing choice in La Rochelle City Centre. Tour de la Lanterne is a great place to start here, but there are many other fine attractions to visit. La Rochelle Hotel de Ville, Tour St. Nicolas, and Tour de la Chaine are close to the historic construction and and will cap off your day nicely.
