Birdwatching and Deja-Vu

We woke this morning to lovely sunshine and as it’s Friday our first stop is Lidl for our weekly shop. With Kiki’s cupboards heaving we set off to the Reserve Naturelle Maris de Sene. This nature reserve in the salt marshes has a number of trails, viewing platforms and a bird hide.

We followed the trails and herded some calves - or were they herding us - along one of the paths! We think they had broken out of the field as the grass was greener where we were. The views across the salt marshes were great - there weren’t many birds but we enjoyed the 4km walk none the less.

Returning to Kiki we had lunch and then set out for Bono. Unfortunately our park4night app let us down - the “suggestion” turned out to be a tiny carpark behind the graveyard and very close to some houses. Not somewhere we felt comfortable spending the night.

We carried on to Auray where the coach parking area can be used for overnight parking. We found a spot and wandered down into the pretty waterside village - at this point Emma remembered that we’d been here before - 12 years ago on our first holiday together! Auray reminded us of a small Cornish fishing village - the even had the same traditional working boats in the harbour!

We returned to Kiki for our evening meal before settling down for the night.
