After the storm, it was sort of a lovely morning, so after breakfast we went on another walk around Port-Louis, this time going along by the sea and the river, and then back through the town, by which time it was raining again! Today has definitely been sunshine and showers, either clear blue sky or else pouring with rain, but very little in between!
After coffee, we used the services and headed off, stopping at an Intermarché to shop. The Swan Whisperer suggested we could go via Carnac, as it wasn't too far out of our way, so we did, and had our lunch parked up by one of the fields of menhirs, which you have to pay to actually go in, but can see from outside (just as well, really, when you come to think about it, otherwise you would get gangs of youths with cans of spray paint!).
After lunch, we drove on to this place, which is a wine growers not far from Nantes. It is France Passion, but as well as parking, you get services and electricity in exchange for a wine tasting. A very copious wine tasting, I should add! Both of us are a tad light-headed now. Anyway, we have bought two bottles of a very nice, very dry white wine, a 5l box of rosé and two 3l boxes of grape juice, also very nice! The latter will be donated to the Church Christmas party on the 13th. There were several other kinds of red, white and rosé, including sparkling, but this were our favourites.
