We got the bus into La Rochelle and back. No point in cycling today. It has pissed down all day. Nice lunch of tuna and fried potatoes, followed by a trip round the Musée Le Bunker de La RochelleRead more

Beautiful day today so we made sandwiches and spent a couple of hours on the beach. We walked thru the forest to get to a completely deserted part of the beach south of Saint-Girons plage. Lovely.
