There are four dedicated motorhome spaces here, right now there are ten motorhomes parked up and another has just arrived. As each one pulls up there is much discussion (in French) about where to park it. French people appear to they believe it is their right to be able to park here, not a privilege like we think it is &#8211; so if you ever plan to visit, be sure to get here early!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14118\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07498.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14118\" class=\"wp-image-14118\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07498.jpg\" alt=\"A sign you would never see in the UK.

The Dutch VW parked in the corner was having problems, but it was nothing our jump pack could help with. Eventually the contents of its &#8216;boot&#8217; were emptied to get access to the engine and a man in a red French registered van arrived and managed to get it going &#8211; but it sounded rough and spluttered off to no doubt find a garage. By this point I was wide awake. Jay and Charlie were locked into a snoring competition, so I slipped out of bed and fired up the laptop. On my &#8216;to do&#8217; list for what seems like ages has been an update of my CV, a job I have been putting off, now seemed like the perfect time to get it done.<\/p>\n<p>By the time Jay woke up I was in a foul mood, I hate writing about myself (OK, not so much writing about myself but trying to sell myself &#8211; which is odd seeing as I worked in marketing for a couple of decades!). Once again the CV was put to one side and after breakfast we went for a walk around Taussat. There was a small market going on selling mainly foodstuff. We were drawn over to the &#8216;Artisanal&#8217; beer stall, but soon repelled by the \u20ac5 price tag on the bottle &#8211; they weren&#8217;t even a litre!<\/p>\n<p>Reaching the beach at the far end of town we looked over the sea, but it wasn&#8217;t there. The tide had gone out, way out, further than even the Skegness tide goes &#8211; and that goes a long way! It was as if the entire Basin had been emptied. Boats of all types sat stranded on the mud while around them people dug in it foraging for free food in the form of shellfish. It was noon and starting to seriously heat up, so we stopped off at the boulangerie to grab a baguette and a couple of cakes and nipped to the Tourist Office for a map before heading back to Dave to shelter from the sun.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14111\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07483.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14111\" class=\"wp-image-14111\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07483.jpg\" alt=\"Free food gathering while the tide is out\" width=\"620\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07483.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07483-300x148.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Free food gathering while the tide is out<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_14112\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07486.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14112\" class=\"wp-image-14112\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07486.jpg\" alt=\"Whole families take the time to explore the stinky mud\" width=\"620\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07486.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07486-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Whole families take the time to explore the stinky mud<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_14113\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07487.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14113\" class=\"wp-image-14113\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07487.jpg\" alt=\"A three wheeled motorbike from Canada - looks like a converted Skiddo!\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07487.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC07487-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A three wheeled motorbike from Canada &#8211;
