The diversity of this coast continues to surprise. From Fromentine which, though small, was surrounded by caravan sites, through huge multistorey developments in St Jean de Mont
and Notre Dame de Mont, all with wide sandy beaches. Then narrow sandy coves between rocky promontories
We stopped for lunch(v. nice) at Sion Plage, just north of St Gilles Croix de Vie - quite a busy sailing port.
Arrived at the hotel around 5 and still very hot so Cath and I took a swim (so the Atlantic swim can be ticked off the list).
The chef of our hotel ran a Michelin rated restaurant (no stars, but a good write up in the guide) but we weren't tempted by anything on the menu so walked miles into the town centre (such as it was) to find something to eat. Nothing very appetising but we had had an excellent lunch so no complaints.
