We left Longeville after a bracing post-breakfast beach walk. Ted's cat hunt at Longeville necessitated a stop for the purchase of a new collar yesterday as he had damaged his old one! Then we had a stroll around La Rochelle, including lunch and fresh strawberries off the market, before reaching Chatelaillon where we had a lovely evening stroll along the stylish promenade. We were delighted to see a Hoopoe flying around the campsite, too. (The first time Lyn had seen one.) That might mean nothing to most people but we Watsons are actually quite keen observers of nature and so added to our red squirrel sighting earlier in the week this was quite a spot!
Today's lunch break was in St.Emilion. What a beautiful place on a sunny afternoon! We wandered the narrow cobbled streets and imagined we were wealthy enough to buy the finest wines on offer outside the many shops.
France has gone to the polls today. Macron is favourite but ......
