Le Touquet – Paris Plage

Saying goodbye to my father and Lindy – they were heading home to allow us some quiet time together and, I imagine, to have a jolly good rest after the challenges and activities of the previous few days in charge of our ‘charges’ – we headed into Le Touquet for the day to enjoy the market and the fantastic assortment of fare on offer. For once it wasn’t raining (a regional characteristic), nor was it too windy!

We ate the perfect French lunch (snails, muscles, devilled kidneys, salads and obviously baguette) in the Restaurant du Marche and strolled along the huge expanse of beach and into the dunes to watch the kite surfers. It was a heavenly day.

Wonderful vibrant fresh veg!

One can’t pass up the opportunity to sample a little fizz – with a professional stance, of course!

Fish – the boat had definitely come in, unlike in Turkey.

The Continent Express . . . may be this in an option for next time?

Family snaps!
