We left the Aire with most of the other M'homes and stopped at a supermarket for provisions half way to Ile d'Oleron. It's separated from the mainland by a long bridge which is toll free.
The islands main economy is sea food and in particular Oysters for which the region is famous. There are oyster beds, or claires, all over the flat terrain. We stopped at Port Boyardville where you can take trips to Fort Boyard (TV reality series) but we lunched instead!
First moules and frites of the holiday but probably not the last. We are staying 2 or 3 nights near St George in an ACSI site. The weather is back to normal, generally overcast with sunny spells, afternoon and evening but not very warm yet. I made my version of Tartine de Berger Basque with left over toasted baguette, goats cheese, a pack of jambon and pimento de Padron garnish. It was surprising successful, even impressed the chef de van!
