French pupils photographing the 2 Towers

The entrance to the old port is defended by two massive 14th-century towers. The pentagonal Saint-Nicolas Tower, on the right of the photo, the larger of the two, is an imposing fortress with crenellated walls and a keep. Opposite it stands the Tower de la Chaîne, so named because at night a big chain was strung between it and Saint-Nicolas Tower to close the port.

The Chain Tower on the left of the photo Tour de la Chaine, originally constructed to control access to the port, now contains an interesting series of exhibits covering the role of La Rochelle during the migration of French people to Canada (Nouvelle-France as it was then known) between 1604 and 1763.

Both Towers are the most important remains of medieval maritime fortifications.
