St Gilles Croix de Vie [August 2008]
Vendee in August. My definition of hell. The less said the better. My advice is - don't go. But if you have to, walk as far from the beach as your legs will carry you. We managed to find a little sailing school tucked in the esturary. It had a little artificial beach. Not a soul in sight. It was perfect.
