So many trips (now more than 50) to l'Hexagone, each memorable in its own way - this one being the first after a major medical adventure earlier in the year. Although not entirely recovered from that experience, the offer from friends to share their apartment was one I could not pass up - there was a period in which it was uncertain if I would ever be able to travel. Rather than my usual bustling around from a convenient base, this was slower tourism for me, exploring this wonderful city in more depth, with a few leisurely side trips. It is in my usual format of captioned Google Photos albums: a main one for the city, and 3 much smaller ones for some day trips.

So glad you got to go. La Rochelle is looking especially lovely these days, and thanks for including some of the history.

I spent a week cycling around Ile de Re with three friends years back and it looks still not too developed.

Havent been here before, very interesting!

Thanks for your pictures. We will be in La Rochelle and that area next spring.
