I had a text from Katherine about the fuel strikes in France which we did not know anything about. Joined a short queue at the local petrol station and filled up. Just about get me to Roscoff I hope.
We went back into La Rochelle and visited the very modern aquarium. Very interesting, huge tank with sharks was the highlight for me.
We had a coffee and then a platter of charcuterie which all took too long. By the time we had shopped and found the next 5 star site on the Vendee it was after 7:00pm and there was no one at reception. In fact after driving into the site there was no one to be seen anywhere!

So we set off to find another site nearby which was also unmanned and almost deserted.
We finally located a municipal Aire for the night in St Gilles de Croix with 10 assorted French vans and we had a fish sandwich for super.
Not quite where we intended to wake up on our wedding anniversary. C'est la vie.
