We set off early on Friday from Pornic and arrived in La Turballe in time for a late lunch. From what people had said we expected the crossing of the Loire to be a little choppy but it was perfectly smooth - in fact hardly a ripple on the water!
We had been advised to visit Guerande, about 6kms away. This time however we resorted to public transport as the roads looked anything but bike friendly. Guerande is a walled town, rather like Concarneau and we spent a lovely day exploring the area. Also found a great restaurant in a shaded terrace where we enjoyed a really excellent 3 course lunch for 25e.
La Turballe has a super beach just next to the marina and also provides live entertainment - free - in the evenings during the season.
The visitor area in the marina is quite small and another source of entertainment was watching the marina staff cram in as many yachts as possible into this small area - noone was turned away and no tempers got frayed!
