Sorry guys, this day was so dull in terms of driving and scenery, except for the Viennese and a sign, the unworthy traveler was not even tempted to touch his imaging device....

Phare de la Coubre

On a beautiful day, we spend the afternoon on the black Columbus, an old two-master. Two experienced skippers are on board, of course. Once we left the harbor, the two large...

We arrive in La Rochelle in the late afternoon. At the marina, we find a central parking space. From there, we can walk into the city. The city is exactly to our taste. A...

There are still some bunkers on the beach of Vensac that are decorated with cool graffiti. You can walk along the beautiful sandy beach forever. We have a really nice camping...

Big cities are not necessarily our favorite travel destinations. It's often difficult for our bus to pass through all the streets and finding a parking space is not easy either....

14.5.2022 The tour continues as it left off the day before. You ride through the forest for most of the day. The paths are excellently marked and in good condition....

The Dune de Pilat near Arcachon is the highest sand dune in Europe. The ascent is unexpectedly difficult. Our feet sink very far into the sand and progress is very slow because...

We set off on our way to the Dune de Pilat, driving through the Biscarosse district, which has a lot to offer. We make a stop at Lake Aureilhan and take a great walk with...

12.5.2022 By train it takes about 2 hours from Bordeaux to Biarritz. The train is only moderately occupied, most people get off in Bordeaux. You can see that Biarritz is an old...

There is still no season here and we have the beaches almost to ourselves. Also in the parking lot in the coastal forest where we are staying, we are all alone. Actually,...

Last stop, Bordeaux. It doesn't even feel like it's going back to Stuttgart from here. But let's not think about it, enjoy it 😁 Bordeaux is also a beautiful and diverse city...

On the train to La Rochelle, I sat next to a French man who I think was around 60 years old. He was very nice and gave me lots of tips for La Rochelle and the number of an...
