Ar Milin' Chateaux & Hotels De France Chateaubourg

I went just one day to Rennes. I thought it was really pretty since all of the houses are made of
rough stones, des maisons bretonnes typiques. Aussi, les maisons sont faites
toutes un peu croches, ca donne un petit style que j'aimais bien.



Et oui effectivement, il fait beau plusieurs fois par jour. It does rain a LOT.
There is mainly what is in every french city, bars, restaurants and shoe shops!

Been chopping some wood for the fire for the last 2 days with ayms cousins and family. 1 of ayms cousins has an old merc he doesnt need, so he has told us we can have it.
Its gonna cost qbout 400 euros to get in insured, mot and on the road, but im hoping rose and mickou will come and split the costs with us.
Petrol to tunisia through spain and africa will cost about 300 euros so its not too bad, hoping to get work in south of france next week to fund it.

Last night aymericks aymericks aunties and uncles came to the cottage with ANOTHER of ayms many cousins (i'm sure he has a factory where they make them), for his grans 85th birthday. Was a good night. But as much as i'm starting to feel at home here, i cant help feeling i want to move on. The excitement of being on the road and ...

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 wandering around the deserted streets ...

Monday aymerick and i went to rennes, but the library was closed and the camping shop also that we wanted to go to, so we had a few beers instead.
The last bus back to st thurial was 740 but we decided to make a night of it in rennes. The intital plan was to go see a few french punk bands but it turned out the place was half an hour away by bus so we stayed in the centre of rennes.

After a few ...

Left Aymerick in St thurial at his grandparents and got a bus to rennes, which is where i write this blog. In Rennes bibliothèque(thats library to you that dont know), its quiet, like all libraries, but all the whispering is in french! sacrè bleu!

... br>Aymericks grandparents house is awsome, a 400 year old cottage, with a old barn where his grandad makes his own,very bitter, apple cider, All the Veg we have eaten so far has come from the veg garden and im a little reluctant to eat any rabbit, esspecially after stroking the cute little things yesterday,

So the plan is now to stay for the weekend in this tiny ...

... but his uncontrollable drawing to beer.....so whats the verdict, do calories count when you are travelling? as i am in the mood to do a chocolate croissant taste test around france!

So on the way to Nantes, we decided to stop for lunch. Saw this place on the map called Chateaubriant and it seemed to ring a bell for both of us. I thought it had something to do with meat, and jason though it was a cheese. Turns out its a cut of beef seared on the outside and ...

... 1,000 AD which is an awfully long time ago. The monk's dormitory contained an exhibition showing the historical development of the island. The promenoir under the dormitory is the only large room of the convent dating from the eleventh century and, like the Crypte de l'Aquilon nearby, is full of impressive columns. The ossuary also dates from the eleventh century and was once the monks' cemetery. After the Revolution Mont Saint Michel was ...

In the morning, Mary, Mandy and I took a walk in the town and picket up some breakfast and lunch for the day-I got croissants and a loaf of bread J. Mandy and Paul had a rental car, so they allowed us to hitch a ride to Monte Saint Michel with them. On the way we photographed some windmills and cows because they were so beautiful. Mandy is really into digital photography, so she had no issues with stopping ...
