And yes, for all you purists out there it IS an electric bike, perfect for this comparative novice!
Not only showing where we set off from but also giving the Starfish a bit of publicity with my t-shirt!
Arriving at our first destination, Saint-Martin-de-Ré with its beautiful old gateways
I took this photo for my sister Kate who loves learning odd French words & expressions
Although low tide there’s always plenty of water behind the locks
The archway in the central background is Monique’s cousins’ crêperie where we ate with our Bingley friends a couple of years ago
A look back over the old town with its church ruins watching over
The lovingly restored Ernest Cognacq Museum
Back on our bikes, but we spot a windmill in the distance. We couldn’t resist stopping.
It’s the Moulin de Bellerre, built before 1627...
... and the only windmill on the island with sails.
It finished working in 1922 and is now a private residence
