La Rochelle, France

No planned shore excursion. We took a shuttle downtown and wandered around this beautiful seaport city located on the Bay of Biscay in western France.

Looking out to sea from the harbor

Kids learning to sail tied together and pulled by a "mother boat."

The entrance to the city, surrounding the narrow harbor entrance, was built up with old battlements.
