Dave, if you are still in the area, visit Royan market, it is the best market I have ever visited.

MARCHÉ CENTRAL DE ROYAN: All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (with Photos)

Thanks for the tip Terry, currently on Ile Madame before starting to head north for home so it'll have to wait until next year's trip. We will be around ile-de-Re next September so a good excuse to head further south .

Ile-De-Re is beautiful, not been to Ile-Madame, I look forward to viewing an image or three, enjoy.

The cathedral in Royan is also worth a visit. Made of concrete like the market, they spent years repairing it where the reinforcing was too close to the surface. It finally reopened a couple of years ago and is quite stunning.

Just for you Terry, Il Madame is the smallest of the islands accessed by a causeway at low tide. Takes less than an hour to cycle around. Just one farm, no other residents. There are carrelets most of the way around, most in use.

Fort Boyarde in the distance ......

Some random shots of the carrelets ........

and the causeway ....

Interesting history this small island has. Carralets are cool, years ago I was in one near Royan, was like a posh garden shed on stilts with a sea view. I wonder how folks crossing to the island are warned regarding a flooding tide?

Thanks for sharing Dave, enjoy remainder of your tour.

Thanks Terry, there are no warning signs or refuges, but it isn't as far as the Lindisfarne causeway. I guess if you can see the causeway is clear you go for it and there is a website giving safe crossing times. Off to Noirmoutier tomorrow.

Sgur an Airghid a hill a short walk from the CCC site in Morvich.
Lovely views over loch Duich and over to the Ratagan pass.
You can also see the end of the five sisters of Kintail.
On the first photo you can see the campsite down in the valley head.

So Noirmoutier En L'ile defied the weather forecasters and gave us some nice weather for our first visit ..........

Had a cycle around the north end of the island, some lovely beaches ........

Travelled north today and called at Sainte Suzanne, a small fortified town in the Mayenne. Well worth a visit, especially the castle ..

Now at La Mailleraye sur Seine on the usual park up, not that busy considering its the weekend.
