Visiting Port de Vitrezay

We are enjoying a couple of days in the tranquil inlet that is the Port
de Vitrezay. More pics when we have a better internet connection
Vitrezay visitors pontoon looking towards the entrance and the Gironde
It is another place that is well managed by
Charente-Maritime with a restored wetland habitat, the local square
fishing nets for hire, a visitors centre and what looks like a nice
restaurant (unfortunately shut during our stay) in addition to good port
services. The only thing missing was WiFi, which we could probably have
got in the restaurant if it was open, which means that you will have to
wait to see the pictures. The major upside is that it is a free stop, we
were put on to it by a visitor to Royan who keeps his boat here. It is a
very rural area on the Gironde flood plain. We cycled inland to the
hills where there is a small town, chateaus, vineyards and not a lot else.
Our next stop will be Pauillac where we may drop the mast if the
facilities are suitable.
