Charruyer Park


This is the park in La Rochelle, it hasn’t really changed at all. I’ve been looking through some postcards of the park and there often appear to be the same pair of swans. Today we have black swans too. The park was left to the town by Madame Charruyer about 150 years ago. The ‘lungs’ of La Rochelle, it stretches for a length of 2 kilometres through the middle of town.

Beautiful! What are those small huts? Swan love-nests?

Willow; I'm not sure, perhaps they are. I'll have to look and see if they are still there
