Flan!😀
We then drove to La Roche sure Yon. There's a central square with animated sculptures in water that you walk through, although I don't remember those being there when we originally visited, or we'd still have been waiting for Tom to tire of playing with them! I do remember Faye being desperate for the toilet and the only one was this self contained super toilet on a street corner that you put some money in and the door slid open to let you in. It was like something out of Doctor Who and we pretended to be time travellers when we stepped back out. Does that ring a bell with anyone?
We had lunch while there and went in a really nice confectioners type shop. We eventually had a sandwich, cake and drink "meal deal" and a latte to finish with, after having bother with our mangled French. But thanks to one of the assistants who spoke some English we both had what we thought we'd ordered!
Mum then took several photographs using her new technical knowledge gained on her course last Sunday; you will no doubt be seeing the results in due course!
Went to Les Sables d'Olonne next; it's a lovely seaside town but the strange part is that all the streets leading to the beach are uphill. How can the town be lower than the beach? They are in big trouble if there's a high tide!
We then went to Saint Jean de Monts, another town inland with a large central square which acts as a car park with shops all round it.
The value of French car parks is that we parked, centrally in all 3 towns in very nice, clean car parks. Total cost 2 euros, ie less than £2. If only good old brexit Britain gave such good value, all your lives could have been so different! Instead of having driven through so many interesting towns and places, you would have actually stopped and seen them! Also you wouldn't all walk so fast (the Lancaster walk) as you would never have had to quickly walk the 2 miles, look round and walk the 2 miles back to avoid the wardens catching us in the 20 minute free parking spaces😉
