Back in the Saddle Again

Bonjour
This is a top pick! Hello Everyone, We are having a great time in France! We are staying in Vitre, a medieval city. The house we are staying in is 600 years old! We are staying with a wonderful French family who have three children around the same ages as our three. The ...
A Little French Country Life
This is a top pick! ... where you’re going, just ask for the ‘Corlesquet Maison’. We are now at the Corlesquets in Brittany, NW France. This is a large farming region, and the Corlesquets have a small dairy farm. This is Steph’s ...
Land of Locks
This is a top pick! Cycling at it’s best! Canal routes are to die for. Flat, well-packed, sheltered from the wind, beautiful scenery, and traffic free! An overcast day gave the canal that misty-morning look for most of the day. Peaceful and quiet, it ...
Mont Saint Michel
This is a top pick! ... and the weekend off to extend their holiday. Worse still, it was the last week of the school holidays in that part of France. Our early excursion had spared us the worst of the crowds and we were able to enjoy a few hours of peaceful exploration before ...
France Day 21 - Exploring Brittany and St. Briac
This is a top pick! ... headed to St. Brieuc (we later discovered it is pronounced 'St. Broo' because it has roots in the native language of Brittany) ... and after calling Francois to come find us in the town hall near the huge cathedral (there is no huge cathedral in St. ...
Birthday weekend
This is a top pick! For Easter we decided to take the weekend and return to Normandy as well as explore some of Brittany. It was a wonderful weekend with great weather and beautiful scenery. We started at Le Mont-St.-Michel, an abbey that was built on top of a rock on ...
Almost the End of Europe
This is a top pick! 24th - 25th September 2007. We drove right through to St Malo from Lacanua which took most of the day. We checked into a budget hotel chain and went next door for dinner....at Macca's. The first time we'd resorted to the golden arches through the ...
Visit to Guérande
This is a top pick! Le Pouliguen day three. Today we took a walk along the coast and took tons of pictures. I almost wasted a whole roll, I couldn't help it, it's so beautiful! We then took a drive to Guerande, where part of that town is within a huge fortress. I ...
Brittany
This is a top pick! Our next destination was the area to the east of Cherbourg, Brittany where we stayed with yet more english friends Linda and Mel who had up'ed sticks from UK some 18 months ago and decided to renovate a property over here. We picked their brains about ...
Een pick nick met miniwoef in Coray
Alleen de kerk en een bos was interessant om een frisse neus te halen in Coray. Ellie, de tekkel, genoot vooral van de wandeling in de natuur, maar ze was toch heel braaf wanneer ik haar meenam in het centrum. Het weer viel best ...
R.I.P Juju, Hello Old Bertha
Hi all! I'm still doing well but as my time here dwindles down, I should inform you of relatively important happenings: 1.) Juju is dead I was going to Carrefour to return a bag I'd bought before I left for Paris (note: you have only 15 days to return ...
Pointe du Minou
Voor we naar huis gingen deden we nog een zeer klein stuk van de GR34, maar het was de moeite. Om te beginnen vertrokken we van een baai in Plougonvelin waar enkele dappere probeerde om op de golfen te surfen. Dan ging ...
Journey through Britanny... Morlaix
... . I I took one last glimpse at the atlantic ocean before heading onward to Rennes. One thing that I love about France is the smell. Walking along any busy street is a real treat for the nostrils. You will pass a boulangerie ...
de Phare van Cap Fréhel
Er was behoorlijk veel volk in Plévenon aan de Phare van Cap Fréhel. Ook daar waren de vergezichten schitterend. We konden zelfs onze volgende bestemming al zien ... Fort La Latte. Te voet zou dat een uur langs de GR34 geweest ...
Mc Wifi
This is a top pick! Unfortunately the fairy tale turretts and cobble streets failed to live up to expectation and seemed to lack any ambiance. This was probably not helped by us arriving at lunchtime when but everything was shut - French siesta time. After ...
Met een persoonlijke gids de stad in
Het was heerlijk fietsen in de stad van Morlaix. Philippe woonde daar al jaren en wist ongelooflijk veel te vertellen. De Viaduc is wel echt een zeer herkenbaar symbool in het centrum van de stad. ...
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Angela Poulain (Chisolm)
Salut tout le monde! Je vais très bien et j'ai pas beaucoup à écrire... mais, je vais vous donner une sommaire de ma journée. Today was a very good day! I started off on my journey after a certain roommate of mine encouraged me to take some pictures ...
En Bretagne, Il Ne Pleut Que Sur Les Cons!
"In Brittany, It Only Rains on the Idiots" Don't look at me, I didn't come up with that saying. It's a common saying in Bretagne because of it's infamous climate. Look it up on facebook if you don't believe me! It's a mass generalization that it's always ...
Porz Teg
Als je van natuur houdt, ga dan eens naar Porz Teg. Het is eigenlijk een volledig verlaten haven die in de oorlog door de Duitsers was bezet. Maar nu zag je er nog enkele restanten van en voor de rest stilte en rust in de pure ...
La promenade du Péristyle
Een wandeling langs La promenade du Péristyle, het uiterste punt van Lorient, gaf een goed overzicht over het geheel. Jammer dat de Tour de la Découverte gesloten was, want ik denk dat je daar een geweldig uitzicht zou hebben, ...
Roscoff
After a awesome night with a groupd of signing irishmen, a fiew germans and way too many beers, we end up in Rosslare with two texans we met on the boat. There are Bretton Crepe stands EVERYWHERE like every 50 meter, and almost every single one of them ...
Mijn laatste dag in Quimper
Het was mijn laatste dag in Quimper voor ik weer zou verder trekken. Dit maal naar het noorden. Ik had de ochtendwandeling gemaakt met Ellie de teckel en ging dan in mijn eentje naar het centrum van Quimper. ...
Brittany
Brittany is salty and seafaring. Staying in a little hotel that is like a lighthouse. Dined on seafood and crepes and cider. On Anzac Day I went to a service for members of the Resistance who died in the concentration camps. This is the 60th ...
J'aime à revoir ma Normandie...
Oh boy... where to start? In Mont St. Michel, a few hours after arriving, we trekked up to a creperie for dinner... something I now know to be an awful idea: apparently, I'm allergic to buckwheat. Right after we ate, my mouth started to itch, but I ...
