Leaving Il de Oleron we decided to visit the coast line north of the Bassin de Archachon. We took the ferry from Royan to Pointe de Grave to cut out the huge stretch of water (La Gironde) and also avoid crazy Bordeaux traffic. We stumbled upon Montalivets, a place we’ve never seen before but turned out to be a great place with one of the best free aires behind the sand dunes. The sunsets are amazing and the lack of artificial light makes the stars really stand out in the nights sky. The sea has been totally flat since we’ve been here which is not so good for surfing but great for swimming. We are now south enough to be able to swim in cossies although compared to most here this is over dressed.
