Before going to bed we made sure that a taxi would be available to take us to the train station in the morning. It turned out that the concierge had forgotten to call for our taxi! We dragged our luggage to a taxi station a few blocks away and prayed for a taxi... and of course the taxi came in the nick of time. We took the high speed train called a TGV to La Rochelle. It was very confortable and fast. We passed field after field of sunflowers. Mark's friend was waiting for us at the station and drove us two hours to his beautiful home. We were treated to a tour of friend's Cognac distillery and a fantastic gourmet dinner.
