We walked out to the pleasure marina, which is possible the largest in Europe with 3,300 berths. On the way we passed the maritime museum. C didn't want to go and see it, saying it couldn't possible be as good as the one in Barcelona. I think it's a pity we didn't walk further down the quay, though, as apparently Cousteau's Calypso is moored just beyond the museum ships. There's a municipal bike hire scheme in La Rochelle - you can see some of the bicycles in the second photo.

We walked along to the end of one pier in the marina.
Quick snaps around the town - not quite sure what the first one is all about!!

The marina looks like it would be a busy one with all those boats. I wonder at the sound of the boats bobbing in the water and the clanking of the ropes and such.
ReplyDeleteI love your quick snaps. You always seem to find a bit of whimsy to share.
