      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 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 :).
