Taking our lead from Mike & Sandy, we spent a superb 11 days in August holidaying in the Vendee, France, based in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. Weather was marvellous, one day bit drizzly but warm and ten days blue skies and hot. A beautiful part of France, which we heartily recommend as a holiday destination. Some of our pics: Saint-Gilles harbour area: The Grande Plage: The harbour wall area: Lac du Jaunay: Les Cinq Pineaux: Chateau de Beaumarchais: Evening in Saint-Gilles: Pointe de l'Herbaudiere (Ile de Noirmoutier): The magnificent beach at St-Jean-de-Monts: .... which filled up rapidly in the afternoon: .... interesting 'leaning' architecture: .... the amazing promenade: Port la Vie:
We knew you would love it, it's our favourite holiday spot, such a laid back life style with incredibly beautiful views, really delightful cruising country! Thanks for sharing, Shaun & Karen, seeing your pictures brings back some fantastic memories, only wish we were there now!!!
