Royal Ropewalk

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

The Corderie Royale was created in 1666 by Louis XIV, in order to manufacture the ropes needed for military sailing boats.

A huge building, it is the largest historical site in Rochefort which can be visited all year round.

Rochefort Transporter Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In the 19th century, the only way to cross the Charente was by ferry. But this one was disturbed by the tides. It would have been necessary to build a bridge, but it would have blocked the maritime traffic, then very important on the Charente. It was therefore decided to build this transporter bridge, which was inaugurated in 1900.

The pylons and bridge deck are fixed. A mobile nacelle is suspended from the deck and circulates between the two banks of the Charente thanks to a trolley.

The transporter bridge operated from 1900 to 1967, then was replaced by a lift bridge, itself destroyed in 1991. The transporter bridge has resumed service and now allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross for €2 or €3 each way -feedback.

This drydock was built between 1853 and 1861. Looking down from above, you will see the perfect shape of this drydock to accommodate the large warships of the time.
