Passage du Gois de Noirmoutier & About the end of the Vélodyssée

So this is an EPIC experience.

We arrived at a road that is submerged most of the day, except at low tide.

So twice a day, an hour before high tide until an hour after high tide, the road can take you to and from the island of Noirmoutier. The island itself was stupendous, with armies of swallows zig-zaging between us, in the thick cloud of insects. We saw rabbits, black swans, many new types of birds… We’d like to go back.

Finally we arrived at Pornic for the Fête de la Musique !!

The 21st June, is the magical day that all the towns & cities of France put on free concerts and musical events. It is my favorite day to be in France and according to me, is much more the “Fête Nationale” than Bastille Day (July 14th).

From Pornic, we decided to take the thrilling and dangerous bridge to Saint-Nazaire, where the trip ended for us as we had to go to Rennes to rent an appartment.

For our next trip we are considering doing the Eurovelo 6 which goes along rivers from France to Roumania…

En route vers Lacanau

Une grande balade pour rejoindre l’ocean,

Atlantique et bienaimé.

C’est pas si mal de faire du vélo dans la pluie,

surtout si le soleil pointe son nez.

Un peu de luxe, piscine, pinball et plage,

on l’a bien merité.
