The Rochefort transporter bridge (French: Pont transbordeur de Rochefort or Pont à transbordeur de Martrou) went into operation in 1900 and is the work of the French engineer Ferdinand Arnodin. Since 1976, the structure has been recognized as a monument historique[1].

In the 17th century, Louis XIV dreamed of reigning supreme on land and sea. To do this, he needs a place to build and arm his warships. In 1666, the Rochefort arsenal was established in the middle of the marshes, on the winding and silted course of the Charente. The royal rope factory, erected for the needs of manufacturing ropes for warships, is among its most emblematic buildings. The Rochefort Maritime Arsenal, nicknamed the “Versailles of the Sea”, was for a long time a place of technical innovation in shipbuilding. Between its opening and its final closure in 1927, nearly 550 warships were built there. By crossing the Porte du Soleil de l'Arsenal, near the National Maritime Museum, you will be able to see two forms of refit, that is to say basins which were formerly used to clean and repair ships: The basin was filled with water to bring the ship in and then it was emptied in order to carry out repairs. One of its forms houses the hook, an activity for children. The other has long housed the shipyard of the Hermione, a replica of the French warship of the same name, a three-masted square ship in service from 1779 to 1793. But this ship is no longer here; she is in dry dock in Anglet to undergo treatment against a fungus which is attacking her hull.

A beautiful, old church that also has a simple beauty inside.
