Pornic




Having left Noirmoutier, our passage was all of 8 miles across the bay to the lovely seaside town of Pornic - easily the prettiest stop on our travels so far. The marina is a short walk out of town but the boardwalk passes Bluebeard's castle - another place we didn't get a chance to visit on this occasion.

There was a fantastic market in Pornic on a wednesday - we spent a fortune but the quality of the food was exceptional and our pigeon French got us by!

We took the dinghy out to explore the coast but, although being very sheltered in the marina, it was blowing quite hard in the bay so after I had got soaked numerous times we decided to head back in!!
