France Day Sunday 31st May -Tuesday 2 nd June June 2026 Royan

 Fishing cabins all  along this coast. Went to the Cinema £9 each ) ten mins walk from this quiet residential shady spacious Site . Mandalorian and and Grogu . Diabolical dialogue ! Minimal.plot. Not much for Grogu to do. One set of fights after another for several hours . Amazing CGI effects. Exhausting . Like being in an extended video game or a nightmare you can't wake up from. We were wise to watch it on the big screen though as on Disney Tav it would be a turn off. Slept well. Found some sterile waterproof plasters to cover woulda for a quick swim before the cinema , from the town beach, quite calm enough for me.

La Cote Sausage campsite Wednesday 26 th - Sunday 30th May 2026

 Stayed out due to heatwave of 36. Didn't climb La Coubre lighthouse . Swam in the pool , walked on the beach , sat in the shade. Read. Relaxed. Sleeping at night got easier from Friday 29 th onwards Toppled off bike , scraped my leg on the pedal and then fell over my  electric bike ( which is very heavy )and cut my legs in several places whilst on the cycle  path from La Cote Sausage  campsite to La Plage de Bonne Anse. Bled a lot due to blood thinners. The manager of the snack shop  not only gave us her excellent first aid kit to raid , but also very kindly loaded us up in the  work van bikes et al and drove us back. Andy appreciated  being flirted with whilst I  cried and trembled . Not great sensitivity  but her generosity was welcomed( no local taxis , we asked and she refused a donation
