The 5th summer in Ireland and is the first time I feel the weather is far too dull. Unlike previous years, it may be a cloudy but bright white clouds and most of the time has a bit of blue sky every day. This summer is mostly grey cloudy days, and very few glimpses of clear sky.
So decided we need a short break in September to somewhere with better weather and food to cheer us up, La Rochelle satisfies the requirements.
This old port town has been strong and rich since the
15th century for seafaring and slave trade. The 3 towers to protect the
harbour is iconic, all can get up via spiral staircases to the top, for
the experience and the view.
A lot of space around the waterfront to wander about, with grand sea view from the very centre of the town. Not that crowded in September and lots of good ice cream and places to drink and rest.
