More La Rochelle

Still in La Rochelle and here I am on the grand steps outside the Town Hall.


According to the guide book the steps were made in the late fifteenth century.

Don't know about that, but it's certainly quite cold!

Next time I'll show you some pictures from the ship.

Welcome to my new blog

Welcome to my adventures. I'm Geronimo, a rather scruffy but adorable bear, and I can be seen here at La Rochelle, a lovely little harbour town in France.


I was there in 2006 and La Rochelle was the third stop on a brilliant P&O cruise. I'll be sharing more cruise pictures as we go along.

Behind me is the Lantern Tower. The only medieval lighthouse on the Atlantic coast that is still standing. It contains a huge array of graffiti, carved into the walls by the pirates and prisoners that were held there after it was converted to a prison in the 17th century.

Blimey, that thing's old!
