Having been inundated by my Fan to make another posting, I am happy to write about my trip to La Rochelle, France. It has wonderful architecture, seafood restaurants, friendly people, picturesque Old Port, lots of dog poo and the old German U-Boat harbour.
The architecture first. The Old Port is surrounded by great old building and this is an example of what can be seen.

The other sights of La Rochelle can also be seen here - from the beautiful poppies, Old Port entry with the fortress towers and the old German U-Boat harbour. This was the site where many a German wolf pack of U-Boats left to sink allied shipping during WW2. It was also the site for the films "DAS BOOT" about a German U-Boat patrol and "RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK" when Indianna Jones hitched a ride to the island where the Ark was opened with fatal effect.
Enjoy the sights of La Rochelle - if you get the chance GO THERE - it's great and the weather is always so good. Here endeth the promo.
