Fireworks at the Grand Pavois in La Rochelle











Last night we all went to La Rochelle to watch the fireworks courtesy of the Grand Pavois boat show, the biggest show on water in Europe. We arrived at 7 and sat on the entrance to the port, and ate our picnic with a bottle of rosé on the grass. There were Irish dancers on a large boat, water skiing, as the sun went down into the sea and the show commenced with a row of old sailing ships passing by under a few small fireworks, the towers changed colour to music. The story began and the night was filled with lights, loud bangs and loads of smoke.

We were in La Rochelle Sept 2008 and absolutely loved the fireworks display. We also spent a day in the beautiful Ille de Re. Here's to 2009.
