St Valory Sur Somme & Le Touquet

On our way through to Le Touquet we stop at St Valory Sur Somme. Unfortunately, just in time to miss the steam train which we had hoped to go on. Ever hopeful that the weather will improve, we consider a return visit in a day or two, with the possibility of camping again. Needless to say we didn't return to SVSS, which is a shame, but is definitely worth a visit in the future.
As we arrive in Le Touquet, there is a short respite from the rain – but as we wander around we are in a constant battle with slip, sliding on the shiny wet pavers. The next afternoon though, there is a small gap in the clouds and we manage to find a shelter from the wind in the sand dunes whilst the sun shines for quite literally a few minutes. We also visit the Thursday morning market and spend time in Etaples.
Interesting August weather, and certainly a lot worse than when we were here in October '08.
