Hi, A question regarding LaRochelle and the area in France which was the birthplace of the Acadians: Are there any trips or tours which go to that area? After visiting Nova Scotia last fall, it would be wonderful to see that part of France. Incidentally, if you have read the latest best seller, The DaVinci Code, you will have noticed that LaRochelle is mentioned in the book as well.
