Along with the Saint-Nicolas Tower and the Lantern Tower, the Chain Tower is one of three towers on the La Rochelle waterfront, and one of the two iconic towers of the Old Port, to which it forms the majestic gateway. It was from this tower that the chain, fixed to the Saint-Nicolas Tower on the other bank, was operated to prevent access to the port. It was listed as a historic monument on February 17, 1879.

This morning I took the bus from the hotel into town. Taking the bus can be so easy: hold your credit card to the scanner when you get on, and you're done. That's valid for an hour and probably costs €1.50. That's what it says on the tariff plan, nothing has been debited yet.
