La Pallice, also known as Grand Port Maritime de La Rochelle, is the commercial deep-water port of La Rochelle. Playing a significant role in maritime trade and transportation, La Pallice also served as a U-boat base during World War II and played a critical role in evacuating Polish soldiers to Great Britain.

While La Pallice isn't overflowing with tourist attractions, there are still gems to be discovered. Immerse yourself in the underwater world at the impressive Aquarium La Rochelle, located on Quai Louis Prunier. For a dose of nature, unwind at Parc Charruyer, a park offering green spaces, scenic views, and a peaceful atmosphere. The unique Quartier de l'Ile de Penotte, also found in La Rochelle, is worth a visit to marvel at its shell-covered houses. For grocery needs, head to INTERMARCHE Super La Rochelle, a convenient supermarket. Every Sunday morning, the Marché de La Pallice market comes alive with vendors selling clothing, shoes, accessories, and fresh produce.
