Along the west coast of France

Tuesday 9/4
After leaving Vannes, I headed east to Nantes, a sizable city with a good network of bicycle lanes, nice restaurants, etc. 
Canard

Strawberry Tart
 On Wed. I headed south to stay in La Roche-sur-Yon, then Rochefort on Thursday night.  Nice towns, but nothing particularly memorable.  I mostly enjoyed the fine fud,

Profiteroles
 From Rochefort, on Friday morning, I biked to Royan to take the ferry to Soulac sur Mer.  See:

From there it's been bike path all the way.  My lodging was an AirBnb in the small lakeside town of Hourtin in one of about 6 motel-like rooms that Nathan, an interesting chap from Wales, built.  It's about 50m from the bike path that runs all the way from Soulac to Arcachon, which is where I am now.
All Bike Path (paved) all day
It's raining this morning,,, and the Best Western here has provided me with a laptop which has enabled me to update the blog.  Allegedly it will clear up a little after noon, so I can make it to my next stop.
