It's now the beginning of February and a bright, sunny day tempts us out on a walk to La Guittière using the Visorando website/app (highly recommended, folks).
We parked up at the port and began the trail, firstly looking out to sea and la Plage de Veillon (which I covered a couple of posts ago) in the distance
Same position, but looking back along le Payré river to La Guittière
There's a bit of a clue here on what the port is known for
There are beautiful views across the marshes and reclaimed land
We weren't sure what this hut was for but it was very impressive...
...perhaps not for these goats though.
This building once stored salt harvested from the sea...
...but is now a visitors' centre in summer months.
There were some beautiful old cottages in the village...
...Tine's photo showing more detail of the old stone steps.
Perhaps the hut by the water was for eel-catchers...
...but the main product of La Guittière is oysters...
...for sale at several places but not available to eat in situ in present times.
Info for inquisitive souls
