La Pallice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Pallice (also known as grand port maritime de La Rochelle) is the industrial harbour of the city of La Rochelle, France. It is a commercial harbour in deep water, named after the French philosopher La Pallice. The large submarine base built during World War II still stands there, although it is not being used. La Pallice is equipped with oil unloading equipment, and mainly handles tropical wood. It is also the location of the fishing fleet, which was moved from the old harbour at the centre of the city during the 1980s.
