Wasn't sure of the tide hence the safe option.... superb location and a very enjoyable day - grandson enjoyed the aquarium... as a sailing man and a wargamer, Noirmouter appeals on both levels... ripe for Napoleonic landing parties a la Hornblower, and lots of yacht building going onSteve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-65034064847532353192014-07-10T19:37:53.172+00:002014-07-10T19:37:53.172+00:00Legatus - spoilt for choice here in the Vendee - t...Legatus - spoilt for choice here in the Vendee - the local brewer is Melusin but I have to admit the beers are a little pedestrian... this is out of region but readily available as is my favourite of this holiday (and indeed many previous ones) which is La Goudale...

Challans, not too far away, used to have an interesting historic fair with plenty of free food and wine being given away as samples.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.com
