On the morning of another hot day, we walked to reception for Mick to get internet access and we had a beer in the sun while he got setup. When we got back to the caravan it didn't work, no reception, so Mick just went back and got a refund.
After lunch we drove to the closest seaside village Saint-Brévin-l'Océan, about 2.5 miles, parked by the marina and had a walk along to beach there. There where views of the Bridge from yesterday and the massive shipyards at St-Nazaire, where the Queen Mary II was built. There were also some of the fishing contraptions (Pêche au carrelet), that the area is famous for, dotted along the shore, they are fantastic looking things. There are also many WW2 German defences along the coast, as the big German U-boat pens where in St-Nazaire.
After out walk we headed into the resort and were surprised to find that it looked more like Spain than France, we picked one of the many bars and had a drink in the very hot sun. The place was very busy with families out for the day but it was a Sunday after all.
