Visiting La Rochelle on the way back from the UK after a Christmas break, it was very early in January and around mid afternoon time. But having heard so much about La Rochelle it would have been difficult to drive by, being so close, without calling in to take a look.
Visiting La Rochelle was a little like the analogy with house viewing, where if you see a property when it is a dark grey day in winter and still fall in love with it, then you are actually going to adore it in the summer sunshine.
Now there will be the sceptics out there who will be thinking well if he runs a holiday place near the Mediterranean he probably doesn't want to show the west coast in its best light. Well to those people all I can say is, you make a good point and you might be right, but if you are then it is Freudian in nature.
