La Rochelle in « Les Carnets de Julie » on France 3
La Rochelle was featured in one of the « Carnets de Julie » episodes on France 3, aired on 15 December 2018.
« Julie and Micheline made the journey to La Rochelle, a harbour city on the Atlantic coast with beautifully preserved architecture that tells the story of its prestigious past as a hub of maritime trade. You can admire the ramparts, the arcaded streets, half-timbered houses, and the grand shipowners’ mansions built from the famous white Charente stone that gives the whole city its wonderful luminosity. Here you’ll find that the sea breeze blows through both hearts and kitchens alike — we savour mussels with pineau, farci charentais et poitevin, and a local dessert classic, the tourteau fromager! » Les Carnets de Julie
