The Saint-Nicolas Tower (14th century) is, along with the Chaîne Tower and the Lantern Tower, one of the three towers on the La Rochelle waterfront, and one of the two iconic towers of the Old Port, of which it constitutes the majestic gateway. For five centuries, it ensured the defense of the channel and served as an attachment point for the chain, stretched from the other bank, which served to block access to the port. It was listed as a historic monument by decree of February 17, 1879. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_Saint-Nicolas

This picturesque canal, with its calm waters and lush vegetation, offers a serene towpath that you can follow.
