We took the opportunity of driving our lovely niece Caroline to her nursing entrance exam in La Rochelle to venture a little further down the Charente coast to Brouage, a site recommended to us years ago by old friend Martin (sorry, didn't bump into your aunt, sir).
Brouage was once a thriving port but the harbour gradually silted up in the 17th century and the coast is now 2 km away.
Within the old walls lies a small town, built grid fashion, and the white stone of its buildings shone brightly on a beatifully sunny day.
More next time!
