The return leg of our journey saw us with 4 nights to travel north before taking the ferry home and we wanted to avoid following the same route back as we had when journeying south a week earlier, so that we would have the opportunity to see more of the country. At the same time I was very aware it might all seem something of an anti-climax after the great time we'd had at La Flotte and on the anticipatory voyage to get there. It's one thing to look forward to an exciting holiday and another when you might just want to get home as quickly and easily as possible.
To that end I thought it might be worth re-visiting our previous location given how beautiful it was and knowing it had the pool and great pitches. I don't get many decisions right but this was one that proved the exception as we rolled up in the heat of early afternoon with the prospect of another wonderful evening and night after the pool, use of the bikes which were provided free of charge and enjoyment of some very French live music. With the accordion and the incredibly effusive hand gestures, the sound and mannerisms of the trio were just perfect for the setting.
The sunset was incredible and everyone enjoyed being back in such lovely surroundings. The atmosphere was just so welcoming with children roaming freely but safely and adults prepared to look out for other children, even when they weren't their own. A dad went in goal for Joseph when he saw that he was playing football by himself and very soon there was a whole crowd of them joining in. We found that sort of 'old-fashioned' behaviour everywhere we went.
