La Rochelle Ferris Wheel

Installed in the Old Port since 2011, the La Rochelle Ferris Wheel is one of the city’s most iconic attractions. Standing around 40 meters tall, it offers stunning panoramic views over the medieval towers, the harbour, the Atlantic Ocean and, on clear days, as far as Île de Ré or Fort Boyard. Accessible to everyone with enclosed and adapted cabins, it provides a smooth and enjoyable experience to discover the city from a new perspective. By day or night, it reveals the beauty of La Rochelle and its illuminated waterfront.
