Ile de Haut A little slice of French paradise

Our day in Ile de Haut was spent at the beaches and wandering the small French town. It is very quiet and we are the only ship to visit this year. We went ashore by tender and walked to the Plage de Anse Mire. There were lots of little boats bobbing at anchor and family groups swimming. We sheltered from a rain shower under a large tree.

                    The houses and flowers were colourful as was this intrepid traveller

                                                A land ship and our cruise ship

                                               Walking around to the first beach

We took shelter from heavy rain before heading down to our second beach. It rained again as we swam in the beautiful water. We saw lots of fish some very large and talked to some delightful locals in a mix of broken French and English.

                                                Despite the rain we didn't get the "blues"

One of the local homes. This is a very pretty part of France. A great place to drop out if only you could afford to eat.
