Cloître des Dames Blanches
Cloître des Dames Blanches, 18th-century cloister in central La Rochelle, France.
The cloister features regular stone arches supported by columns, creating a square formation surrounding an interior courtyard with traditional architectural elements.
The religious complex belonged to the Récollets order from 1629 until 1810, when it became the property of the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity.
During summer months, the cloister galleries transform into exhibition spaces, presenting various artistic works to visitors and local residents.
Located at 6 rue Saint-Michel, the cloister welcomes visitors free of charge from Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.
The former convent buildings now serve as administrative offices for the La Rochelle Metropolitan Community.
