A Day at the Beach and Moules Mariniere!

Today was another day off to complete the long weekend for the LG volunteers.  Our first stop was a break for coffee in Pons with a wonderful view of this fortress.

 

 

 

 

We then continued on to Talmont, a quaint little village situated right on the coast.  It is home to an old stone church built on the bluffs and it was voted one of Les Plus Beaux Villes de France.

The village of  Meschers was next on the list.  We went there to play at the beach. Sidney probably had the most fun of all!

 

 

We found lunch at a delicious restaurant where many of the group members enjoyed the French speciality des moules mariniere. 

The last stop of the day was the beach town Royan.  It’s about two hours northwest of our little Brossac and we had the luck of avoiding the rain!  While most of us wandered into the town shops, Elizabeth decided to take a nap on the beach.  Maricela, Katie and Paul bought some fresh crepes as a delicious late afternoon snack!
