France 2013, Day Fourteen, Charente Maritime

Day fourteen, Fri 17th May

Dot had read about a beach at Marennes Plage, so we went for a look. On the road down to the beach there were signs saying road closed but it didn't seem to be.  As we reached the coast I stopped to take photos of Pont de la Seudre, we had used this bridge many times last year but not so much this time.

Viaduct

As we continued, the road was in fact closed and as we could find nowhere to park we had to go back the way we came.  We followed diversions but they took us back to about where we set off from.   I could not be bothered any more and we headed on to the Île d' Oléron again. Shame as Marennes Plage looked very nice.

In the end we spent the rest of the day driving round the Île d'Oléron and only stopped in a couple of places.  In Saint-Denis-d'Oléron we got out for a walk and started along the pier but the rain got the better of us and we retreated to the car.  Another shame as it looked like a very nice place to visit although I got no photos because of the rain.

We also stopped in La Cotinière again but didn't stay for long there either.
