We were away last weekend on a (very) special occasion trip. Our destination was the city of La Rochelle, on France’s west coast.

En route, however, we broke our journey in the city of Poitiers, where we stayed overnight in a budget hotel whose chief attraction was its proximity to the railway station. We certainly didn’t choose it for the views:

On the other hand, in La Rochelle we splashed the cash on a suite in a considerably more upmarket establishment, where the views were a signifcant step up from the poor relation in Poitiers.
