Highway to the Danger Zone

Now that evening was approaching and we had squeezed in all the sights that I had pre-planned, it was time to find our hotel. Using the car's built in GPS we made our way toward Hotel le Canter in Saint-Hilaire-Saint-Florent. Looking at the map now it looks like we could have just returned back toward the troglodyte area by following the Loire River. Instead the GPS took us through the middle of a huge French army training facility. Signs all along the road warned of live ammo being tossed around or buried in the woods. Originally this area was the training ground for French cavalry. Now it is the home base for the French tank corps. I suppose they need lots of privacy to practice running those tanks at high speed in reverse .
