La Rochelle

A short post as I had only a short stopover in La Rochelle on my way to Paris. I had decided to forgo Bordeaux and took a train north along the Atlantic coast, headed for Paris. So these are the only two pictures I have of this town. First the small harbour. with the defensive towers at the mouth in the distance. It's quite marvelous that now with Internet access to maps I can pinpoint where I took this photo, and see that I must have done a short walk from the railway station to get there.

The railway station of La Rochelle. From the station clock, I had only a few more hours of the afternoon to reach my destination.

The Atlantic coast of France is another region I have not given enough attention to.
