Return to Morbihan






We had a lovely weekend chez Gill in Brittany, checking on her decorating and gardening activities - both top quality, as you would expect.

On Saturday we drove to Séné to catch the ferry to the Ile d'Arz which takes about twenty minutes. The first photograph is the boat about to pick us up. It's amazing to see the inhabitants of the island with their shopping caddies, bags and boxes full of provisions. The taxi mini-bus is at the other side to transport them home.

We passed this beautiful house near Port Anna, painted a very bright pink. Apparently this is used as a landmark to help sailors find their way. The Golfe du Morbihan has so many islands, large and small, that I bet sailors need all the help they can get!

Just to show that anything Vendée can do, Morbihan can ALSO do, we now have Tine in front of another 'load of old rocks' (le Dolmen Pen Raz), and some beautiful strata in the low cliffs to the south-west of the island.

I couldn't resist the last photo: 'Warning, Dad Dancers'?!! Suggestions welcome...

Avec ce beau temps, cela réchauffe le coeur de voir la maison rose de Port Anna.
Le Morbihan me manque... mais je en desespere pas d'y retourner très vite.
