Marvellous place, La Rochelle: massive stone structures, fascinating market of stuff from all over the world, good food, ships and bridges, and street entertainment on every corner.
Next visit, I shall go on one of the Yelo solar-powered ferries, or "bus de mer"; they glide so smoothly, like swans. Might sample one or two of the nine museums, too. The marine museum is on a ship!
One of the busking groups was Les Boeufs Troquistes. At first I didn't get why they were wearing white overalls with black splotches, but when you see their introductory song (performed with actions), all becomes clear. Excellent musicians, and funny too.
