Some "off the wall" musings from the charente valley, one of the prettiest parts of France.

Charente Maritime beaches hit the spot
It was the senior partners birthday on Monday so I took a hooky day off work and we went to the coast with the girls.
Being August Royan was pretty packed so we took a side road and ended up in a cove on the north side called Conche de Pontaillac.
It was far less crowded and we even nabbed the last beach-facing table at the "Le Calu Met" restaurant next to the casino where J-A and the girls had grilled sardines and pronounced them delicious.
The sandy beach was impeccably clean and the water warm and clear. There are a host of ice cream parlours to choose from and we'll certainly be making a return visit soon.
We're spoilt for choice living here and we could easily spend a week exploring the coastline rather than the "hit and run" day jobs that we tend to do.

Sometimes a day or two away from work can really make a difference in your outlook, remind you what is important in life. Glad you had a good day.
