[QUOTE="Bradypus, post: 1118266, member: 42372"] A few years ago I walked the opposite direction: started in Wales, ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo, river and canal paths through Rennes and on towards St Nazaire. Then south to Pornic on minor roads before passing through La Roche-sur-Yon, La Rochelle, Rochefort and Royan. I took a ferry across the Gironde to Soulac and then walked the Voie Littoral to Biarritz and finally on to SJPDP (or very near - an accident forced me to stop 20km short!). Most of the time I was wild camping and this was very easy to do in the long forest stretch between Soulac and Biarritz. I especially wanted to pass through Pornic because my grandfather is buried in the Commonwealth military cemetery there - one of thousands of the British Expeditionary Force killed in the evacuation of troops in 1940. If the Rochefort transporter bridge is open when you pass that way I recommend you try it - a remarkable piece of engineering. I crossed the River Usk in Newport on a very similar bridge in the first week of my walk from home to Pornic. When I told the bridge operator in Rochefort about that he pointed out that they were both designed by the same man. And that he was French. :) [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.pont-transbordeur.fr/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
