The weather started off a little gray, but as we got closer to the sea, the sky turned into a clear blue. After buying a couple baguettes, we headed for la Plage du Nicet. This little inlet in the coastline is protected from the strong winds felt on the other beaches, but still has plenty of room for all the people.
Now, anyone who’s been to Maine can picture exactly how “refreshing” the water was. Don’t be deceived by the clear, turquoise waters. It was a touch brisk. After a good 30 minutes of inching up to my waist, while having a lovely conversation with my host-mother, I became ready to dive in.
All in all, it was pretty much perfect. We finished up the day with a visit to the old, cobble-stoned city center and a beer at the Bieristotherapeute (beer, food and therapy all in one spot). After a half-pint of “therapy” in us, we hit the dusty trail.
Ciao et bises!
