Blogs from Brittany , France, Europe - page 22

Hello all, So I'm a little behind on writing my blogs so I'm going to try to catch up. So Friday was sort of "Orientation" to the program so it was just some informative meetings and what not. But for lunch we had a very very French meal: Subway, Lay chips and Coca-Cola :) Haha. It did the job though. We had some more meetings in the afternoon and then we walked around the campus. It began to rain, and the it would be beautiful and then it would rain again. Apparently, that's how the weather is here most of the time. However, it's been a gorgeous weekend, so I'm not judging Bretagne yet. After the tour, Abbey (who lives on the same street I do) took the local transportation for the first time. She was ... read more

Hi everyone, I start my "Tour de France" in Brittany to visit my wonderful niece, her mum and her grany. I spent 4 realy nice days between games with my niece, nice walks (when it was not raining!) and good meals. I did not take a lot of pictures, but there is a few just to show how Brittany is a realy lovely area of France. Je commence mon "Tour de France" en Bretagne pour visiter ma super niece, sa maman et sa meme. J'ai passe 4 supers journees entre jeux, promenades agreables (quand il ne pleuvait pas) et bon repas. Je n'ai pas pris beaucoup de photos, mais ils y en a tout de meme quelques unes pour montrer que la Bretagne est une tres jolie region de France.... read more

Pont Aven is an attractive town of artists. It was the home of Gauguin and a lot of his paintings are of the area. The town is now full of art studios – and tourists. It has a pretty little harbour and river with water wheels. A lot of the houses are white plaster with large grey stone window and door surrounds, and a few thatched roof houses like the one we’re staying in. (Ours is a bit more modern and up to date on the inside thankfully) The weather has not been the best for us, but I like to think it’s acclimatising us for home. We suspected it may be a bit wet here, as were warned by Adeles family, saw how green if was here, and every second stall at the market was ... read more

Our intrepid three were the first off the boat upon landing in Saint Malo at 8.20am this morning and headed straight onto the open road. There was a later stop for water and flapjack after 20 miles, however the stop was cut short due to a chilly breeze. The roads were excellent and undulating and the three stopped later for a small lukewarm coffee and shortly after this encountered their first road closure. Remaining unphased by this they took a diversion which directed them onto the motorway which was closely followed by a McDonald's lunch break. Finally the three arrived in Pon Rean at 3pm to find that the hotel did not have a booking for them. However they managed to secure two rooms overlooking the river for 58 euros and are relaxing in the french ... read more
