Guérande (1)

What a lovely surprise earlier this month when Tine booked us an overnight stay in Guérande, Brittany. She finished her campsite duties at 2pm and as soon as she got home off we sped, picnic at the ready!

The moat still exists for about half of its original length, a lovely setting for the walls
There was much preparation for a medieval weekend a couple of days after our visit


Narrow streets aplenty
A beautiful teuille (linden or lime tree)...
...whose leaves and flowers are often made into lime-tree tea
Wild flowers and old buildings
Back to the moat in reflective mood

Lime tree est un "tilleul" en français, dont j'ignorais les noms anglais, pour ma part.
