La Rochelle


I was able to attend the wedding of a couple of friends in the wife’s hometown of La Rochelle. On the Atlantic coast of France, it’s a well-known old port town with strong ties to its Breton past. But for every old stone building in the town, it seems you can find a  new luxury yacht in the harbor! (2001)


On overview of old La Rochelle from La Tour de la Lanterne

The beautiful harbor of La Rochelle as seen from La Tour de la Chaine tower

Even today, boats must sail through the old harbor gate flanked by St. Nicolas and La Chaine towers

One of the many open air markets throughout the town

Here you see tower of la Grosse Horlage (The Great Clock) that is the entry gate to the old town
