Great Stay on the Island of Houat

-
We have been hoping to stop on Houat before but previously wind direction has not been favourable. This time Westerly winds meant that we could anchor for 3 nights in the large bay on the eastern end of the island with one of the best beaches in Brittany. It was scorching hot and we managed to swim off the beach every day. Really idyllic. 
Local people have stalls outside their houses selling seafood and local grown vegatables.
A restaurant Laura ?
Beaches all around the island
and a great place for a barbecue
