La Rochelle, France -9 July 2015; Founded in the 10th Century, La Rochelle is a historic coastal town and harbour on the west coast of France, facing the Bay of Biscay in the Atlantic Ocean. Here we see some strange but artful graffiti on walls of the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Sauveur in La Rochelle, France. What is the significance of this enigmatic little masked girl waving the fleur-de-lys kerchief? Traditionally, this symbolises the Royalty of France. I suspect the strange hat may also have but what do I know?
