Ile d'Yeu -much prettier than we had expected

The weather has still not quite settled after Storm Miguel and meant a very wet crossing from Pornic over to Ile D'Yeu.

However the barometer was on the way up and we are looking (hopefully) at a much more settled period

Being an island some kilometres off the Atlantic coast both fish shops and bike hire are understandably popular.

As we have our own folding bikes we were able to spend some time touring around the island. A planned two day stop over was extended to three because we were enjoying it so much

198 steps to the top of the lighthouse - much easier on the way down !
