    Thank you for your welcome and your kindness! I was passing through the island for a hike, I went to this point for the start of my journey. We talked a lot about the tour to do and the places to see etc. The lady present that day helped me a lot by giving me the maps of Ars en Ré, St Clément des Baleines and Portes en Ré! Thank you for your kindness and advice, PS: Thank you also for the pen which, as promised, did not return to your office :) See you soon,
