We packed up the next morning at Biarritz. I had been watching several homeless cats here too which i left fresh water for. We checked to see what was doing with the roadworks but they were about to dig up the road the next night so better we leave now. We decided to head back to the quiet location we knew at Vieux Boucau Les Bains just until the hot weather went which was a couple of days and also make sure the teeth settled ok.
We drove in and stayed away from coughingman. We stayed here until the Monday. On the Friday we stopped on the way for supplies and cat food for the homeless cats there. We had some great swims in the couple of days we were there, but there were some dumpers of waves so i kept to the shallows. We found out that on the Saturday the community were having a Fete de la mer to celebrate the sea. This place used to have a large port 600 years ago but the sea changed it all and Bayonne became the port and Vieux Boucau’s port ceased to exist. At lunchtime we went up to check it out and they had Moules and Frites (mussels and fries) and wine for 1euro a glass or 5 for a bottle. So we joined in and everyone just sat at long tables chatting to each other. We got chatting to some lovely people next to us and they explained the reason for the fete to us.
That night they put on tuna steaks and frites again with wine and music. We went for a wee while but went home to eat a bit later. It was really enjoyable. Sunday was spent carching up on the blog and emails and spending time with the pussycats, so a quiet day.
We left mid Monday morning as we needed to drive halfway across France to a place called Albi as we have friends near there we were visiting.
