Ile de Re, France

Grey skies over Ile de Re made for a quieter day today.  We got up late and had our croissants for breakfast.

After a few games of cards, we decided to walk to La Couarde, which is two kilometers west of Le Bois Plage. The walk was pleasant, although it looked like we were going to be under the threat of rain the whole way there. La Couarde is a small village not unlike Le Bois Plage, with its quaint terrace houses and small gardens. I take it, though, that one has to be loaded to live on Ile de Re as I could not see a place under AU$300,000.

We stopped at a small café for a late afternoon tea of crepes. Mine being a sweet chocolate.

We walked back from La Couarde via the market for tomorrow’s breakfast.

We decided to go all out and eat at the restaurant across the road from the camping ground, Halo Pizza. We were well fed, including our overindulgence in deserts.

From here it was back to the tent for sleep.
