Only took me about five minutes to “do” the German Submarine Base at Saint Nazaire. Interesting enough to see but not much on display. Looking at the pens you could imagine the activity levels there during WW2.
Mosied further along the seafront. A very pleasant place to while away a couple of hours before setting off to pick Simon up from Nantes Airport. Not many folk around and a hot sunny day. It was difficult to picture the place full of occupying troops. Lovely small beaches.
Was quite glad that Waze did not take me back over the bridge across the Loire. It was a seriously squeaky bum moment driving over it from Noirmoutier. Probs the highest bridge if ever driven over. Had to stay totally focussed on the car in front and not look to either side.
The pickup was seamless enough albeit the flight was somewhat delayed and we got to Cecile’s mum’s place in about 25 mins. It was nice to see her after perhaps thirty years. Her house is very close to a train station but it was a 45 min wait until the next one so we Ubered it in. The AirBnB is fine, does the job anyway and we headed out into the night.
Touristy stuff today.
