      We have just visited a bit of the southern Atlantic coast of France with my son and his family. Not gardens, but pretty anyway.

      Bayonne.

      The lake at Hossegor. IMG_20250927_112440.jpg

      The port and the sea at Capbreton. It was warm sunny weekend and people were swimming and surfing. There was a fish market at the port. We saw fishing boats coming in.

              It’s about five miles away from me @Busy-Lizzie. It has similar soil and climate so it’s good for ideas on what to grow. A 64 acre site so good for a walk too :).

                We are about 10 minutes from Bressingham Gardens.
