We couldn't understand why the little campsite at Clisson didn't have very good reviews online. The toilets and showers were clean and modern, it wasn't expensive, and it seemed popular.
This morning, as the sun rose we enjoyed listening to the birds as they fussed. A little robin, called to say hello. Then a quick stop at the supermarket opposite to recharge our gas cylinder and we were away, glad it was a Saturday, as we had to drive on part of the ring road around Nantes, which we've done before on a weekday, and it wasn't pleasant. Our destination, Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouet. Upon arriving we stopped at the free site by the lake, but didn't fancy it. So we booked onto the municipal campsite. Cost, £7.50. Our cheapest paid for overnight stop so far. It appeared we'd arrived in the town just in time to see a cycling event take place.
Two disabled cyclists, laying prone on their cycles turned the cranks using their arms. They stole the show, with many people photographing them.
Short on 'steps' yesterday, we walked into the town, stopping at the imposing church, where inside we were wowed by the beautiful colours streaming across the pews and stonework from a kaleidoscope of colours created by the bright afternoon sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows. It was stunning.
Then a turn around the lake.
This evening pizza at the Mona Lisa pizzeria, before yet more walking. Tomorrow will be our last full day in France, so we intend to leave early to make the very most of the day.
