We undertook an excursion to Chatelaillon-Plage on Monday, Mick and Ann's last full day. It was a scorcher of a day and we were surprised to see just how quiet this stunning, little seaside resort was. It took us quite a while to realize that the season is really over and all the resort paraphalia of beach clubs and activities for children were already closed. As we strolled back along the esplanade, after lunch to the car, the council workers were driving along dismantling the sound system that had been strung along the lampposts to provide the soundtrack to everyone's summer holiday.
Having mentioned "lunch" we need to go back to that topic as the lunch was the main purpose of the excursion. It is a great treat to have a superb lunch in Les Flots and made all the more special as it marked the (almost) end of Mick & Ann's holiday.
We followed the back roads along the coast as much as we could to return via La Rochelle and the marina. By this time it really was hot and so travelling in the car with the air-con on full was very appealing!
