Port-d’Envaux

We left a sunny La Rochelle after breakfast by the marina and started our journey inland in a much cooler car (some good brain work with frozen water bottles here) to get to our waypoint for the day, Port-D’Envaux.

After some vehicle admin and instillation of cooling measures we wandered through the village to the river where we set up camp to eat our lunch of sandwiches from the bakery and enjoy the scenery and excellent people (and puppy) watching.

After snacks and micro naps we spend some time bobbing about in the water to cool off and do some work on my left-handed catching (progress is slow) before ice creams and departure.

Skipping toll roads, we had a good two hour drive through the countryside to our next stop at Montagne where we were greeted by Melissa who helped us settle in before we went for a short stroll through the vines which are extremely close to our little house.
