Didn't stay at the La Rochelle/Chatelaillon-Plague camp site two nights. Although it had a lovely sandy swimming lake, it's "facilities" were not up to standard! So, went from La Rochelle to Royan. This was unexpected - a large camp site in a fairly built up seaside resort. It did have an impressive coastline, with several beaches where we could watch surfers from a high vantage point - weather a bit blowy and drizzly again, so we didn't partake ourselves!

We then decided to save some driving time by taking the ferry across to Le Verdon. We then just had a short drive to Grayan-et-l'Hopital. We got the 9.30 ferry, so we were on the beach by midday and today was a glorious sunny day.

Next day, cloudy again, so hit the road, via Bordeaux on route to Duras. Had a look around Bordeax and arrived at our Duras campsite mid afternoon. Weather brightened up enough to take a swim in the pool. The Duras campsite had a lovely restaurant, so we could end the day with a meal a wine watching the sun go down.

Need to sort on photos out, so will add more related to these days.

Next day raining hard, so decided to head for next stop, and with that a scary episode!
