Le’t go jump of Tour St-Nicolas!

This week in La Rochelle was nautical week. The region is boat crazy so it seemed like everyone had come to town. Friday was definitly the best day though. As you may, or may not know (I didn’t know about it till now) each year, the best cliff divers from around the world do a little tour of Europe. For the first time, they came to La Rochelle to dive of the tallest of the historical towers in the port. You know, the tower that is in every poster or photo of La Rochelle. 

The dive was 26 metres high and these guys pulled some amazing tricks.

Here are some photos that I pinched off google images:   cliffdiving

and some that I did take:
