Description
As our ship was preparing to leave La Rochelle, we were treated to a beautiful sunset with the bridge in the foreground.
La Rochelle is a city in western France and a seaport on the Bay of Biscay, a part of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the capital of the Charente-Maritime department. The city is connected to the �le de R� by a 2.9 km bridge completed on 19 May 1988. Wikipedia
Several islands are scattered around La Rochelle, including the nearby Île de Ré as well as a trio further offshore. The car-free, crescent-shaped Île d'Aix (pronounced 'eel dex'), 16km due south of La Rochelle, has some blissful beaches. Between the Île d'Aix and Île d'Oléron is the fortress-island Fort Boyard, built during the first half of the 19th century and these days best known (in France at least) as the location for the 'adventure' TV show of the same name, which is filmed here each summer. When the weather's clear, you can see La Rochelle in the distance.
