[QUOTE="roving_rufus, post: 1152188, member: 21017"] Day 6 Arès to Gujan-Mestras 15km (2+boat+13km) So I am up to my old tricks - I am way off route! I took a stroll of 2km over to Andernos les Baines having had a lie in until 7am! I had a look at St Eloi church which the earliest parts are 11th century but has been added to multiple times including a bell tower at end of 19th century. And the neighbouring roman ruins. Then I got on a boat - the Passe Maree which goes across the bay to Arcachon (timetable is based on tides). Nice little excursion on the water! Then off at Arcachon, which is a long standing resort town with a tree lined prom, sandy beach, grand buildings and very impressive villas - there was a train line from Bordeaux which made it popular in the past especially with the wealthy. But off the jetty I follow a GR/GRP along the shoreline, initially on the prom, through the fancy port filled with sailing yachts and boats. The rest was through salt marshes and past small ports. I did stop at one for lunch. The bay was first known for salt production now it is shellfish and especially oysters- so I treated myself to half a dozen. Several small ports around the bay you will find the old wooden fishing huts now are restaurants selling oysters. I made it to Gujan Mestras and am in a hotel. I said yesterday this section is tricky with suitable accommodation, so I budgeted for a hotel night here (and it is very nice treat to be in a private room with ensuite!). Tomorrow after about 7km I will reconnect with the marked route. [/QUOTE]
