We
hired bikes and rode along the seawall/dike to the light house Phare
de la Gacgolle. The track was good except a couple of parts where it
went beside sandhills and the sand was deep on the track. The bikes
were heavy and it was hard work pushing them through the sand. But
it was great to be up on bikes for a good view. There was more water than land. On
one side enormous lagoons with flamingoes stretched inland and on the
other, a ditch, lagoon, low sand hills then the sea.
There
is a large gravel park in town used for boules and markets. Today
after the market they were cleaning up with tiny trucks and watering
the gravel.
Love those flamingo photos. Brilliant
ReplyDeleteThanks. Good camera - took a long shot then cropped them. Not sure how much they can be enlarged. The water is shallow so the reflections are good. Both of those were taken at nearly midday.
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask you earlier in your trip to look out for cute whippet signs in French at the markets. It might be a needle in a haystack so only if you were looking at the markets anyway. A member of the Facebook group has one.
ReplyDeletemarket are on tomorrow, we'll look.
