Recordist's notes
A constant rain is falling on La Rochelle this morning. At the beginning of the recording, drops are falling on a marquee, but a barman is coming, opening the restaurant, he kindly ask us to move. Just after, a small lorry comes. Poor wet guys collect glass inside the streets. Be warned, noisy sound !
