Au Revoir Paris

These guys do an awesome job. There were 2 more behind us at the check in line. They appear, and then disappear but they are all over Paris. Standing in quiet corners and ready for anything.

Picnic in the park.

A nice park only a block away from our apartment.
Evening picnic. Brie from Mauxe Champaign from Aye. Bread from the Boulanger in the shop next door to us. Strawberries from Belgium. (Very sweet and almost local).
Sun not setting till 10pm. So sitting in the park in the late light is nice.

Monday afternoon stroll.

Just a pleasant early afternoon stroll (again) by the river.

Sometimes we get lucky.

3 things we are always looking for in a new town.
1 Free carpark
2 toilettes
3 ATM

In Provins we got all three at once. Next to the carpark was an authentic mediaeval auto bank with attached toilet. Those mediaeval guys were clever.

Côte de granit rose

Rose granite glows along a 30 km stretch of Bretagne coast. Unusual rock formations and pink sand. We will return here.

Cairn Gravinis

6000 year old tomb. No photos allowed inside. Nice carvings on rocks inside.

Town of Fougères.

Rain had set in. Spectacular tide had done it's thing. The big buses had all arrived in town so we headed away to the town of Fougères for the afternoon. Being a Monday everything in town was closed. (Except for the creperie selling crepes normande)
We spent the afternoon wondering around what is claimed to be the best preserved (not restored) mediaeval fort and town in France.
Beautiful. Even down to the backyard gardens that reminded me of Pop. All for the price of a crepe normande.

The Allied bombings spared most of this town fortunately.

Beautiful fortress (to keep the English out). The whole town is in very good repair. It's a living town. Not the standard tourist trap.
