The Church of Saint-Sauveur, one of La Rochelle's most symbolic maritime monuments.
It is one of the symbolic monuments of the maritime city. The first building was erected by the monks of the Île d'Aix before being destroyed. Rebuilt, it was again destroyed by Protestants in 1568. Only the Gothic rose window remains. A third church was built, only to be destroyed by fire once again. A new grant will no doubt enable the addition of two bells (the first two are still being restored), enabling the belfry to be rung again - a first since 1993!

The church Saint Sauveur is located just steps away from the old harbour. You can't miss it by arriving from Gabut, because it dominates the surrounding buildings. It's a little church but it's nothing exceptional because it has suffered a little bit of time.

Cette église fait partie des nombreux édifices qui donnent son style historique à la Rochelle. Elle n'est pas en parfait état mais c'est ce qui lui procure tout son attrait.

Une église qui a beaucoup souffert...Mais un lieu inspiré cependant, proche de la mer...
