Weather
Wonderful: we would like to return during the
winter months. If anybody knows what the weather is generally like January to March, we would be pleased to hear.
Holiday
All wonderful, difficult to know which place we liked best. Possibly Cap-Breton, where we had the best food. Night life has only 2 stars because we are of an age where it is not important.

Weather
In August it was quite hot and dry.
It rained only once for a couple of hours.
Skies are rarely grey but often have fantastic cloudscapes against vivid blue.
Holiday
This is a relaxing place for a holiday.
The beaches are fantastic and many are backed by pine forests.
You can rent bikes and the cycleways are extensive, often off-road and usually completely separated from cars.
It is really a family resort.
Places Recommended
For wildlife lovers the superb ornithological park at nearby Le Teich where you can see cranes, egrets, storks and many other birds in a wonderful natural setting of islands and lakes of a river delta. Don't forget binoculars!
Few people miss climbing the Great Dune du Pyla - the biggest sand dune in Europe - well over a hundred metres high I believe.
The visit by boat to the oyster beds is interesting, especially if you like oysters!
Don't miss the amazing houses in the Winter Town, dating from the turn of the twentieth century.
The market is really good - wonderful food, particularly fish.
