A couple of days in Brittany

Last Sunday we drove up to Theix to visit Claude and Danny, yet another set of cousins - there are loads more cousins to see yet! They live near Caen but have a holiday home just to the south of Vannes, near the Gulf of Morbihan. After lunch they took us for a drive around and the first photo is taken at Port Anna where we walked off our meal. It was rather wild at times but we were well covered.

Next day the weather improved and our hosts took us to visit a couple of beautiful small towns, Le Gorvello and La Vraie Croix (Photo 2). This was on our way to meet Gill and her Mum for them to show us the house Gill has bought. It was great to see them again and we were very impressed with the house which is in a small town called Sulniac, to the South-East of Vannes. Gill hopes to complete in a few weeks which is very exciting - we've offered our services, of course!

We went for lunch in a really good hotel/bar at Noyalo (€8.20 for a 2-course meal including copious wine) then back to Claude & Danny's for coffee. Later we toured another section of Morbihan, the last two photos taken at Larmor-Baden looking over the causeway at high tide towards the Ile de Berder. This is where Cécile and Arnaud have their 2nd home - what an idyllic spot.

Next day the blue skies were replaced by grey skies and torrential rain. We stayed with the cousins for lunch, then motored back to Vendée in horrendous conditions. The bridge at Nantes had 'vent violent' (violent wind) warnings - not for sister Kate!!
