48 hour visit (3)







As you can see Saturday was absolutely gorgeous so we decided to try to find la Pointe du Payré, the 'other' side of the estuary from the dunes at Veillon.
.
On the way we called at l'Abbaye de Lieu Dieu, one of our favourite buildings that Phil hadn't seen before. From there we continued down the narrow track to the River Payré at low tide. You can see how little rain we've had recently!
.
The other four photos were taken on the coastal walk to la Pointe, the low cliffs getting higher and the rock formations more dramatic. The final photo was taken at la Pointe and looks over the estuary to the ever-changing sand spit, with the dunes behind.
.
We had a fantastic afternoon and rounded the day off with a meal at Nico's, treated as royalty as always. Next morning, a return trip to the airport - a quick visit but it won't be long until Phil comes to stay for longer in Summer.
