Keith Klein replied to a comment by Kathleen Jones on a photo in To the Islands: Saujon to Rochefort

Hi Kathleen,

Well, I didn't know about Champlain either until I read the signs in Brouage. Growing up in Buffalo I had heard about him, of course, but the emphasis of local history there was more on his mysterious demise than on his origins. I like finding these quirky connections when I travel. Don't you?

Cheers,

Keith

This was interesting. I didn't know where Champlain was born. I lived on Lake Champlain in NY for several years when I was a child. We learned all about him in school but of course I've forgotten more about him than I remember. Thanks.
