Astonishing dancer, fine old car, and I really liked the shot of the children admiring the ruins. It's great when you get a picture of people where they are not identifiable, but their attitudes are. La Rochelle looks wonderful. (There is a city in New York called New Rochelle, it must be named for this place.)Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945050858396741262.post-40937483224035579052013-11-21T19:21:48.986+01:002013-11-21T19:21:48.986+01:00Thanks for sharing your visit to La Rochelle, a pl...Thanks for sharing your visit to La Rochelle, a place I have not been to up to now.

So many little villages with some sort of history attached. Hope that you are back to full health now.
