Tour with a Cheap Car Rental in La Rochelle

Founded in the 10th century, La Rochelle was the largest French harbor on the Atlantic until the 15th century, and dealt mostly in wine and salt. The two 14th century towers that guard its harbor stand as testimony to the importance of this trade. Protestant Huguenots fleeing the persecution of Cardinal Richelieu in the 17th century founded New Rochelle in New York. It is doubtful a visitor would feel the need to flee this friendly town but if wanderlust strikes, rental cars are available to tour the surrounding countryside.
