From La Rochelle along the coast to Rochefort. The first typical fisherman's huts on stilts "cabane" seen, from which fishing is mostly done with nets. Rochefort can be recognized from afar by the pylons of the transporter bridge (opened in 1900). The transporter bridge is still in operation for cyclists and pedestrians, but was not on our way.
