La Tranche-sur-Mer - St-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie

7 July 2020, kilometres today: 85
Kilometres since the start: 2017

Pretty good first night camping. In the morning I have to tidy everything up and I make myself a "coffee" and I eat my chocolate biscuits all melted and glued in their case!

Once past Talmont Saint-Hilaire I recognize a path that I had a few years ago on a loc bike! The swampy countryside is very pretty and remarkably well laid out for family bike rides.

Around noon in Les Sables d’Olonne and I dream of a fried Kebab. It falls quite quickly on the waterfront I see a sign advertising it! I eat in the sun on the promenade in front of the beach.

I’ll have to continue a little longer to have a coffee in a shack at the entrance of a beach. This time I look for the shadow which becomes rare ^^

Carefree road to the Pradelle campsite a little after St-Gilles, in Saint Hilaire de Riez. A campsite that like the one at the old mill where I was yesterday has a cheap itinerant rate for people on bikes.
