Barbara pulled Fouras out of the hat, as we researched the next stop.
On the Atlantic coast, just below La Rochelle.
A lovely campsite,15 mins walk from the town.
A surprising feature of this area was the number of Hollyhocks, growing indiscriminately along pavements, in gardens and in crevices.
My favourite Cottage Garden flower- hit and miss in my garden, maybe I need to add some sand to the soil!
The town had two wonderful markets, one specifically for fish and Oysters, which are largely farmed here.
Had fish BBQ, first night.
There is a fort and lot of walks – the casino. In the Bois Vert, brought many visitors by Train , in the 19 th Century; no trace of it now, although the setting is very peaceful.
Enjoyed Fouras, two super beaches,too.
Then, after three days , it was time to move South to San Sebastián.
250 miles approx.
Easy drive along the Autoroute d ‘ Oiseaux, then the N 10/A 63 around Bordeaux and through the Landes Forest.
I have driven this way so many times in the last 40 years.
Made chunks of it Peage- not too expensive.
Good journey, driving through Central S S , thankfully during Siesta, on and up a 5 KM hill- Mount Igueldo, to the campsite.
The weather continue to be bountiful; worth the scouring of websites!
Beach at Fouras.
Will update on San Sebastián, shortly; health wise, all good, no pain killers ,plus plenty of walking!
