A lazy afternoon in Olonne
I’ve just had one of those perfectly blissful days that come along every now and again…ten of us met up on our friends’ private marshes in Olonne sur Mer for a day’s fishing, good food and wine, and great crack à la française.
We caught one trout between ten of us, but hey, who’s counting! He’s chilling now in the freezer (anybody got a recipe they’d like to share?!). Perhaps you don’t have the fortune to know anyone with their very own bit of marshland but don’t let this stop you if you’re in the area!
Top class cycle track in Olonne
Rent a bike, pick up a cycling map ‘Sentiers Pédestres & Cyclables’ from the tourist office and get pedalling! The superbly maintained walking & cycling tracks in and around these marshes and the canal take you through some seriously breath-catching scenery. There’s also another free guide ‘Sentiers Cyclables’ available in the tourist offices, though it’s much more general.
Pack your camera and some sun cream for the journey, Météo France has announced some scorchers for the days to come. Happy Cycling!
