Today is a stormy day. Heavy rain and high winds kept us inside most of the day.
We had lunch in the town of Bazs sur Mer and then visited a bunker that was constructed in Le Pouliguen by its German occupiers during WW II. The bunker has been converted into a museum displaying artifacts of the Germans occupation. It was a poignant reminder of France’s tenuous situation during that war and added a personal side to the usual american view of France’s role during the war.
We played bridge for several hours in the late afternoon. The group fixed a dinner of fresh shrimp, oysters, snails, et cetera. They were kind enough to fix a portion of Hake (a mild white fish) for me and Mom.
Pasquale departed for Paris this afternoon after he and Anne Marie took in a movie. He works there during the week and comes to Le Pouliguen most weekends.
