Pornic - La Boutardiere

This is our next to last stop before catching the ferry from Cherbourg on Monday and so we are stopping for three nights. There is a lot activity on the site as we have hit peak season and lots of French caravans are arriving. Its getting too hot and its time to be returning home.
There are nice walks along the cliffs to the local village in one direction and Pornic in the other (but 16km is too far!). Tried in vain to get the satellite receiver working again to catch the last of Wimbledon.  Walked in to the local village, Le Berniere en Retz, just caught the market and bought some cheese and seafood (ie oysters). Paddled back along the beach as the tide was now well out exposing even more seafood. Walked the other way towards Pornic to look at the traditional fishing nets called 'carrelets'. (video on YouTube) based along the cliffs.
Did a bit of whittling and made Rosemary a necklace out of a small oyster shell.
