48 hour visit (1)






Our jet-setting son flew into La Rochelle last Friday morning for a brief 48 hour stay as a break from his final University rehearsals, dissertations, etc. He was in great spirits and we certainly packed a lot into just two days.
.
We went straight to the quayside from the airport and after a short stroll along the front we settled to a very tasty gallette (savoury pancake) with a drop of rosé wine in the glorious sunshine. La Rochelle is such a beautiful town that photographs don't seem to do it justice.
.
From there we walked around the harbour just in time to see the bridge opening for a vessel leaving for the open sea. Our destination: the aquarium. More next time!
