Day 13 Notre dame to St gillets  Croix le vie only 25km on the voices verts through the trees and along the coast.

Past a place a little built up like resorts in Spain to the working harbour of St gillets , buzzing with people and boats in for the tour de France on the water. Decision to stay potentially for a couple of nights with opportunities for paintings of the harbour. A little campsite south of the town itself 14 euro and nice and friendly. A rest on the beach, buzzing still at 8.30pm and then a couple of sundowners.

Dave up early and painting on the harbour, the Tour de France a la voile (sailing extravaganza in town) I pottered round, cleaning the tent and catching up with admin - what a hard life!!! Now having a coffee, even harder. Off to the beach soon - how hard does life get ha ha. Glad all in the UK enjoying fab weather too this always happens when i leave the country and as my brother said long may i stay out as, as well as Andy winning Wimbledon, the first test is under the belt, though tight I hear, Froomey is winning the tour and the British Lions success. OK guys I will stay here!!

Raining and thunderstorms in the evening! Invited into a caravan for cover, coffee made by the kids, chocolate biscuits offered (politely declined though they looked so nice) and left alone to wait for the rain to stop with the television on, watched the masterchef for patisserie experts. How nice. Left them a message of thanks in French, hopefully it made sense and i didn't say anything untoward :)
