Île d’Yeu (4)

 Our last day on the island.

Tine raring to go (exploring or for breakfast, I'm not sure)!

We took the bus to La Plage des Vieilles and found these three old ladies

The beach is to the south-east of the island and pretty idyllic

Arnaud Kasper's highly original statue looks away from the spot where 198 Senegalese drowned when the boat they were sailing in hit an underwater mine in 1917


The clifftop pathway in this SE corner has magnificent views

The lighthouse at La Pointe des Corbeaux (the Headland of Crows)


The eastern coast is less rugged with beautiful beaches...

...sandy snow-ball art...

...and some Tranchais having a paddle...

...before a relaxez-vous.

Back to Port-Joinville...

...with yet more beers...

...this one called La Débauche, a slang way of saying finishing work.

On the ferry, all masked up and ready to go. (Fake news: this was on the way over, but who's to know?!)
