FR16 - Day 3

Image
After another affected night we awoke to bright sunshine. Again Reggie and I went to get the bread.  The cats that live near reception kept a low profile. After breakfast we drove into St Valery and parked up. Pay again. As we walked along the pedestrian area Ali guide the bay the tide was us starting to turn. We had a coffee at La Terrasse before walking to the end where the river opens into the marshy bay. The tide was rushing in quickly and in less than half an hour the beaches on the far side of this inlet had gone and it was lapping up against the concrete sides on the town side. We stopped in La Terrasse again. This time for lunch. A goats cheese salad for Claire and a blue cheese burger for me. Amazingly I could eat all the chips/fries. We called in a Lidl for some supplies on the way back and noticed a McDonald's as well..... After Reggie's dinner we went into Cayaux for another walk as it was still bright and sunny. Tonight's dinner is fish soup and bread bought in...

FR16 - Day 2

I mentioned that Reggie can be protective but what I really meant was overprotective. It rained heavily overnight and as well as that there were strange animal noises to keep him busy at intervals all night. The beds are okay and the sleeping bags are similarly okay. But having a dog having mental barking fits is not so good. Luckily being off season the four similar units we drive past to 136 are all empty.  At least no one for Reggie to annoy. The people in 137 across the roadway are in their own caravan and they seem to talk loudly all night until gone midnight. Reggie does not like that either. So Day 2 dawned a little dull and we had a walk to reception to collect our bread order. The French love their fresh baguette every morning. Once breakfast was over we set off for Cayaux and after a walk and coffee we went to look for the tall chalk cliffs that extend from Ault almost to Le Tréport. We found them. Le Tréport is a very lively town on a Sunday with free parking everywhere ...
