Teach a man to fish…

24Aug14: Pornic

This a very pleasant place to stay and the locals are very friendly – one particular resident decided he would teach us how to fish after taking us out to buy all the right gear to catch anything from baitfish to huge tuna!

The marina is not very popular with visitors as some of the facilities are tired though they still manage to charge Peak rates – it's a little off the main path heading South and there's little room for boats over 10m except for the hammerheads – despite this we enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

Noticeably, Pornic is just South of The Loire and here there is a distinct change from the black, slate-like roof tiles to sandy, scalloped pan-tiles.
