Travelling from St Malo to French West Coast at Talmont – mainly avoiding the motorway! Was that the best decision? Well yes and no…. Read on for more detail 🙂
It was a long day yesterday. Travelling. We opted to take the scenic route…. I would say big mistake, BUT, we did see some lovely little towns and villages which, of course, we would never have done from the motorway. Maybe we should just have got onto the motorway a little earlier though? Instead of waiting until there was a road closure barring our way, a SatNav that couldn’t deal with that and a Calvin going the ‘other right’ when I said go right…. We stopped at a little town called Rouge (just before Chateaubriant) which had a massive church. This seems to be a theme – small town/village, big, big church. Very impressive I have to say.
Then we were tootling along a back road and came upon this little cemetery with a small chapel in a village called Maumusson. Like I said, we wouldn’t have seen these had we taken the motorway. But we would have got here a lot quicker!
Anyway we made it, finally. Again another lovely site. Great swimming complex (the sun’s rumoured to be making an appearance tomorrow so we might get the chance to use it as well..)
The moment the pail tipped 🙂
Again a lot of Brits here (and a fair few from the Channel Islands – though not as many as were at the last site)
