Just how many towers can you climb in a day?
We travelled down by train from Nante to this delightful seaside town. One of its special features is its old fortifications of towers along the harbour front. We managed to climb all three towers and enjoyed the views of the coastline, the town and the displays which they contained.
We also managed to have both lunch and dinner sitting by the harbourside enjoying the food and wine. This was a great way to relax after the rush of the last few days.

I'd say you can climb 3, and no more? :)
I was slightly confused and thought you'd ended up an La Rochelle in Guernsey all of a sudden. But I've just been reading about the siege of La Rochelle, sounds like a fascinating place to visit.
We visited the 4 sergeants tower where they were imprisoned. Later they were executed in Paris.
haha, Matt told me there were four towers and I told him he was wrong because you'd only climbed three!
One tower has 2 names - the lantern tower which was originally a lighthouse is also called the 4 sergeants tower. There are also several lighthouses.
