Another grey one today and this time it didn’t clear but that is ok – we had a good one and that is what counts. Moving on from our Aire we popped up to see if we could get a proper look at Fort la Latte or Chateau de la Roche Goyon and to be fair it did not disappoint….

Next up was a visit to Plage Sables d’Or-les-Pins – an absolute beauty even on a grey day and looking positively tropical when the sun did come out briefly….

We spent a very happy couple of hours here, walking the beach from end to end and just sitting – there was hardly another soul to be seen and it was with reluctance that we moved on around the coast to take a look at Mont st Michel in miniature….

A very rough causeway was our way across and at one point I was a little concerned that everyone seemed to be scrambling back from the island but that was just the way it went and amazingly we got this little island to ourselves to explore….

The glass doors were very crusty with salt hence the rather awful photo – the chapel is used as a place of pilgrimage on 29th Sep (the feast day of St Michael) each year- so we are about a week late! We scrambled back over the causeway, by now frequented by mussel foragers and onto the lovely sandy beach….

One more brief stop at Lanruen to visit Plage sauvage de Lanruen before calling it a day at an Aire in nearby Erquy….

Thoughts of the day:

• The coastal driving route has disappeared so I think that must be a Normandy thing – shame
• To be honest I am enjoying the Brittany coast more than the Normandy coast as somehow a beach where you can see either end is more appealing.

Today’s stats:

• Miles driven – 24
• Miles walked – 6
• Beaches – 3
• Aire – £7.49 (no EHU)
