It was great to be able to see Fort Boyard and the island of Aix in the distance. Special mention for making a stop at the end of the cruise in the Old Port of La Rochelle.
C’était super de pouvoir apercevoir au loin le Fort Boyard et l’île d’Aix. Mention spéciale pour le fait de faire un arrêt en fin de croisière dans le Vieux Port de La Rochelle.
