We started from St Malo 12 days ago. Weather was atrocious. We crossed on the Royan ferry, it was fine.
We followed a lot of the EV route, I’ve yet to check my recorded ride but reports from home suggest a lot of swearing about which direction we were going and why we did 3 sides of a square whilst they were following us using strava beacon. I must admit I left the routing to someone else who hates drivers in France and took every chance to be on segregated paths.
I turned around at Biarritz and got the tgv back to st Malo via Paris and Rennes.
Being shoulder season (only started the week we arrived) many campsites were just starting up so very limited on facilities for food etc.
the real icing on the cake was the road blower, tarmac truck and road roller turning up at 8.15 to re- tarmac the sites road system.
The highlight was crossing at Rochefort using the cable bridge.
