• Day 68: Fouras to Pt. des Baleines

    June 20, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Drove the coast road of Fouras and took a short walk to the oyster farms. Parked on the coast near Fort Boyard. Walked out as far as we could through a million oyster shells. After reading the oyster history it made sense to eat lunch here. Grah had a burger 🙄 but I had 6 of the largest freshest oysters followed by stuffed crab and seafood bisque. Booked a chiropractor so had to be on the island of Il de Re by 5. In between we went to the beach at St Martin de Re for a swim before Laura tried to manipulate my sore neck. She was adorable. Visited old town and climbed the bell tower to get a cool view over the Marina. Marina was terrific. Walked around there before taking a huge walk through Loix to Plage du Grouin. For sunset we ended up at Point Des Baleines by the lighthouse and stayed there overnight.Read more
