Rochefort is a historic naval city located in the Charente-Maritime department of western France. Founded in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert under Louis XIV, the city was built as a military port and shipyard on the Charente River.
The city's rich maritime heritage is evident in its architecture and cultural institutions. The Arsenal, once the heart of naval construction, and the remarkable Corderie Royale, a 17th-century rope-making facility, stand as testaments to its naval history. Rochefort is also known for its contribution to aviation history, being the place where the Aéronavale (French Naval Aviation) was born.
The city maintains strong cultural ties to its maritime past while embracing modern developments in tourism and heritage preservation.
