Saintes is a
traditional French town with a long history.
In the chalk
like surface of this unique landscape artists have come over time and left
their work in the rock for all to look and marvel.
Caught these
guys at Eglise St-Pierre in Chaillevette
and were completely blown away. Went from clasics thru Hogey Carmichael to
Brubeck. Energetic, enthusiastic, versatile they rightfully were called back
for encore upon encore. If you ever get a chance go see them!
Mornac where the food is simply marvellous with
crepes to die for.
Le Tremblade
is one of many oyster fisheries of the Gironde with all the sights, sounds and
smells of a working river. The flat bottom barges transport the oysters.
The grand
finale was Marilyn’s birthday. Had a birthday meal on the sea front in Naussica
at St Palais. Beautiful pink lingering sunset over the sea. After the main
course sweets arrived, ice cream to die for in tall glasses n Ms had sparklers
in it as all the waiting staff at the restaurant came over singing happy
birthday in French to the accompaniment of wooden spoons on trays :)) Then the
proprietor, a friend of Dave n Sues, came over with complimentary Champaign :-p
