Markets, marches and meows


Sunday 17 July - another morning lie in and leisurely breakfast. Despite threatening clouds we drove over to le Pouligen to visit the market there. I found some nice little porcelain pieces and otherwise just enjoyed the atmosphere of the market. There was a horse drawn cart giving people rides around the city as well as the normal market activities. There were lots of fresh fruit and veg, flowers and fish along with the odds and ends like shoes, purses and table clothes. After a leisurely wander through the market we stopped at a flea market and browsed around. Then it was lunch in La Baule. Ian and I took a long walk and then we drove with his mother to sea walk that runs from Pronichet to St Nazair. We walked a brief patch of the path and admired the large waves and strong winds. Then it was back to La Baule for dinner at our favorite creperie, Le Chat Gourmand.
