La Rochelle in western France is the capital of the Charente-Maritime department, and an important seaport on the Bay of Biscay in the Atlantic Ocean. Since the 13th century, La Rochelle has played an important international role as it was the point of departure for many of the great expeditions. For a thousand years, La Rochelle has been nicknamed "The Rebel": Democratic before democracy was in fashion (it elected its first mayor in 1199); protestant while the rest of France was catholic; protected by kings while the rest of the country was suffering from heavy taxation... . La Rochelle is a "Must" on the Atlantic coast, being one of the most picturesque and historically rich cities on the Atlantic coast with no less than 4 harbours, and the immediate neighbour of the charming Ile de Ré.
