Tour de la Lanterne Review

The lantern tower is one of the most remarkable buildings on La Rochele Island. It is actually a tower on the ancient city wall, but it is completely different from the traditional tower shape. The pointed roof looks like a church, more like a castle in a fairy tale, very beautiful.

The lantern tower is one of the three towers of La Rochelle, originally a lighthouse of La Rochelle, and has now become a landmark building in the old city, with an octagonal tower body, a green tower top, very eye-catching throughout the old city. The lantern tower can be visited internally, and after climbing to the top, you can overlook most of the old town, you must see.

The LANTERNE tower is one of the three La Rochelle towers, which feature a view of many prisoners who have been locked up here, and the paintings and texts carved on the walls are interesting. Then up the top of the tower there is a fun-designed mirror and overlooks the entire port, very beautiful.

Behind the lighthouse is the old port. The lighthouse seems to be available for tourists to watch in summer.

The retro castle used as a lighthouse guide, the name of the lantern tower that will never regret it sounds very interesting. When I came here, I found out that it is actually a castle-like shape. The feature here is that every night, I will light candles in the lantern tower. 💕 is to attract the boats here, in fact, it is the role of a lighthouse! Let's take a look at a tip first! 1. Attraction address: Rue sur les Murs, 17000 La Rochelle2. Opening hours: 10 am to 6:30 pm, but pay attention to the official website for other specific times ～ The opening hours here are different with the season and sunset time. It looks very old, and it feels like a long-standing lighthouse castle 🏰, I heard that this used to be a prison! So I went in and saw some graffiti on the wall, which was left by previous prisoners. It looked a little gloomy, but it felt that the collision between the graffiti and the castle was very novel. This tower has two floors. The first floor is the place to visit the original prison, and the second floor is the watchtower. There are telescopes on it, which can watch the movements of ships in the distance. The application is still quite strong. But the second floor will only be open to the public on Tuesday and Friday. At other times, only staff can go up to the beautiful harbor near the lantern tower. The sea is beautiful and blue for many years, and the sky is sunny. 🌈 Blue and the castle's beige together feel like an oil painting color, it is worth a visit! ! !
