Châtelaillon Beach
Highlight • Beach
The slope of the beach is gentle and the waves are small to ensure safe swimming. In addition, the beach is supervised in high season.
In low season, it is possible to practice sand yachting, canoeing and kite flying: this beach is lively all year round!

Rochefort Transporter Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
The pylons and bridge deck are fixed. A mobile nacelle is suspended from the deck and circulates between the two banks of the Charente thanks to a trolley.
The transporter bridge operated from 1900 to 1967, then was replaced by a lift bridge, itself destroyed in 1991. The transporter bridge has resumed service and now allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross for €2 or €3 each way -feedback.

Rochefort Maritime Arsenal
Highlight • Historical Site
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.
