Flat my arse
The book says "loads of cycle paths and completely flat" So why are there so many hills and why do the cycle paths run out when you get to the towns and have no idea where to go? (ok slight inclines since the maximum height is 19m above sea ...
The Ultimate Blog Post of All Time

... ad un piccolo supermercato, dove tento invano di farmi regalare una t-shirt come quella delle commesse :-) (riporta il logo del Tour de France 2011, sponsored by CARREFOUR). Cena all'allegro take-away "Le BUFFET D'ETE' ", tra promenade e centreville, ...

Farewell Soudat. Arrival on Ile- de- Re, Atlantic

Beach time.... Hoo 'Re'!!!
... better! Although our route indicates we are staying in La Rochelle we are actually staying just out outside it on an island called Ille de Re. Supposedly named after the Egyptian god Ra (the sun god). Well we have to admit that someone was looking down on ...

A Big Secret - Ile de Re

French and white Spanish coasts
My father told me many years ago that before discovering exotic countries, it would be preferable to know more about mine: France. That gave to me a sens and was the main reason of this first trip. Obviously, the few french francs I had at that time on my ...
Sore Bum Day!

Sziget, híddal
Az Ile de Ré is sziget, így ezt is meg kell nézni. Viszont ez nem az igazi, mert ide egy 3 km hosszú híd vezet a szárazföldről, ezért itt az emberek arrogánsak, a boltok drágák, és minden tele van autóval. (Észrevételek by Bruno.) ...
French Padstow?
Tuesday 21st June 2011 Early start, well before 9 for cup o tea! Off on a cycle ride today – St Martin de Re, which according to map is about 4kms away. The island is so well set up for cycling with many FLAT cycle paths, and lovely routes ...
On our way to the Med

Back to Ile de Re
... 't like! A stop in a supermarket car-park, a rethink and get the books out again. Decide to go back to Ile de Re as we really enjoyed the island last year. Different site/different town but good site/ a bit of jiggling with the pitch to ...

Ile de Ré
Ile de Ré is a bit too touristy. Hôtel adequate, not much in the way of restaurants in this place, though. I settle for a cręperie... very moyen ! ...
Ile-de-Re
Judith died! How are we going to manage without her - there'll be rows in the cab. She must have been dropped when planning last night. Found this campsite after a couple of tries - clean and lovely under the pines. Swam, sunbathed, etc. for three days. ...
Excursion to Ile de Re

Next stop, France - again
We were a bit sad to be leaving San Sebastian but have a long journey ahead of us, with today's destination Île de Ré. We arrive after 3 and had soon pitched and jumped in the pool to cool down. We are convinced it is hotter here than Spain. ...
Island Escape
... old town and port of La Rochelle looking for a park we decided to head over the big bridge to the nearby 'Ile de Re' instead. On arrival the island seemed quite flat and uninteresting however on further investigation we discovered lovely villages, quaint ...
Fun on the Ile de Re
... ; we found the sea – but it wasn't the right type of sea! Might make this into an island mission, and move on the Ile de Re – you have to pay to get onto this one! Packed up Sonia, and a nosey- neighbour Brit wanted to have a look ...
Mrs Wongs laundry
Monday 20th June 2011 Very late start, but this was a housekeeping and chilling day so no rush to get anywhere. Laundry all washed and dried – looked like Mrs Wongs laundry around us for quite some time! Long walk on the beach before ...
Ile-de-Re: The island of oysters and bicycles
