I first came to La Rochelle in 1979.
At the time, I worked for Ifremer, given my training as a halieutics engineer.
I very quickly realized that this was where I would stay.
Naturally, because it's a port, an open city.
You meet people here who come from other places, settle for a while and then leave again, people on the move, who're seeking broader horizons.
This voyaging tradition is ingrained in La Rochelle's history and is still very strong, very much alive.
But also, it's an urban area on a human scale.
You can go almost anywhere by bike, a fact I've come to appreciate all the more in that I'm frequently in Paris.
Lastly, I've found it a good place to prepare for my projects, races and other expeditions. Many people here share
my interest in sailing, in the marine world, and in global ecology. It's a home base I can work from, because I'm only 3 hours from Paris by train.
And from there, the destinations are unlimited. But even more than that, La Rochelle enables me to enjoy a quality of existence in a very lively city.
Something is always happening. If you want, you can go out every evening or even several times in the same evening. |
