ericd Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Great choice of a campsite Bugsy (a bit dusty if you are given a pitch next to the small road but at this time of the year it should be ok). For cheap and excellent food can i recommend "Le jardin de Noirmoutier" on the road leading from town to "Plage des Dames". They have a great "repas ouvrier" for €12 each. My Mother's house is just a couple hundred metres away. Don't forget to attend the Sunday market in Noirmoutier town itself, it's just a great place to shop for food. I want a full report when you get back. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugsy Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 Well, all back safely and a nice weekend trip. The island is well worth a visit but I'll bet it gets very busy when the kids are off school.Site was busy and dusty, as ericd, said but we had a large pitch right on the beach.Had to smile at one caravanner who had pitched up right next to the (low-walled, open) gents urinal. Sitting in their awning watching etc, etc [:D][IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p211/Bugbear2/P1000280.jpg[/IMG]Ron (snorkel) in picture wondering why he had bought enough kit for a two-year expedition.[IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p211/Bugbear2/P1000283.jpg[/IMG]05.16 and the sun is just coming up.Just got a trillion dead insects to get off the bike now..
