Tuna Town

28Aug14: Port Joinville, Île d'Yeu

Upon arrival we called the HM and we squeezed onto our designated finger pontoon, all 6m of it – later we realised there was plenty of space elsewhere and it would have been cheaper too – apparently, the previous week had been manic and there was no room to swing a chat.

Once again a very popular location for locals to spend their leisure time and they all seem to ride a hired bicycle. The island has a definite Mediterranean feel along with isolated beaches and magnificent cliff-side walks. Here we sampled the local tuna for which the island is famous.
