Le Palais to Sauzon – 22nd March 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last day, well 1\/2 day. A taxi to Sauzon and then 8 miles or so before a taxi back to the hotel for the shuttle to the boat. My problem was that I woke in the night with that occasional problem that plagues me, unable to focus and very unsteady on my feet. Things had improved a little by breakfast so that I didn’t embarrass myself walking to and fro the buffet and I decided not to abort. However, the first part of cliff path put a end to that plan and I moved down to the lanes just behind the cliffs that the cyclists use to circumnavigate the island. These zig and zag and made things a little longer but I wended my way safely south to Le Palais confident that if I tippled over I’d not have so far to fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leaving Sauzon again, this time heading south.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Back at Sauzon about 45 mins later, just made it to the other side of its long estuary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Most of the houses in the little villages are all shuttered. Second home fuckwits killing the communities here as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There he is, Le Cog Sportif ruling his lane, strutting his stuff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A mysterious shrouded object in the woods. I’m nearly curious enough to tramp through the undergrowth to find out, but no. It’s prob just a pile of firewood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is very amusing this adoption of the STOP signs throughout Europe even though we be long gone. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Seems a bit of a contradiction. A hunting and wildlife reserve, but hey, the French.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Once more a lovely target for the graffiti mob but unmolested.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A silver pole sticking out of a field with me thinking that the label would elucidate. Nope just the company that did the drilling \/ whatever. What it leads to will be forever a mystery.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Le Palais inner harbour and the fortress on the left, with a moored spare ferry for when the season starts and the crowds come.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m done, and a very pleasant place Belle-\u00cele-en-mer is. I wish I didn’t feel so crap so that I could enjoy things a bit more. All I want is to curl up in bed and stay warm, but I have 8 hours of travelling to do before I can do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
