Major road works delayed our arrival at the first destination, Le Gacilly, but it was well worth it.
Think of a very floral Haworth or Hebden Bridge...
...and you've got Le Gacilly.
Some houses go to a lot of effort with their decorations...
...whilst one celebrates the original home of Yves Rocher.
Like Haworth there's a steam-punk element to the town too...
...with some fantastic creations.
The last L'Aff? (Well the river's name amused me!)
Next morning we walked above the town to Cournon
The sun peeping through the woodlands.
Beautiful sweet chestnut.
At the top of the hill a beautiful bronze statue, representing plants' rebirth from deforestation.
