Breakfast en famille...the butcher of Surgeres didn't quite get the croissants right...rather burnt but his freshly made jam was very good. Nice little brioche buns to fuel us for the day.
On the way by 8.15 am ...a tricky navigating day for Lawrie and Geoff ...they come through and got us to Royan in good time despite others breaking the golden rule of not leaving it to the designated navigators!!
Massive fields of corn, lentils, more and even bigger sunflowers.
Royan busy ,warm and French touristy, film set charm. Great to be at the sea.... Dinner at Le Petit Bouchon ..those liking oysters were in seafood heaven....the rest of us had superb French sea food too.
Still French holidays until the end of the week so accommodation tight ...John and Sally in one hotel ...happy as...the boys down the road in rather more colourful accommodation ( and more expensive).
