Carnac

Headed south in Brittany today and stopped at Carnac enroute to Vannes. The Carnac alignments date from the Neolithic era 7,000 years ago. Rows of menhirs form a megalithic landscape. After seeing so many petite trains we decided to take ourselves on a tour of Carnac and the megaliths. 

Roscoff

Quite day in Roskoff.

Onion capital of the world ✔

Finistere.. End of the world.

We went to the onion museum (never thought I'd say that)  😁

This is a lovely town..  Would recommend to all.

I wanted to post the high & low tide pictures ! (No points for guessing )

Just a slight difference !

Dinan

Left Saint Malo heading for Roscoff in Western Brittany.  Stopped at Dinan a medieval town on the way. We are now at the far end of Brittany where signs are also in the Breton language. 

Dinard

 Took a 10 minute boat trip across the water from Saint Malo to Dinard. The views back to Saint Malo were great.  Dinard is a town filled with 19th century villas built by the British. The so-called Nice of the North. 

Saint Malo

 We are now in Brittany and staying in the beautiful walled town of Saint Malo. Yesterday was spent walking the ramparts and exploring the old town. At low tide you can walk out to the g e small island forts.

Mont Saint Michel

Today we left Bayeaux and went to Mont Saint Michel enroute to Saint Malo. Spectacular sight particularly from afar. 

Rather popular though! 

D-Day beaches and calvados

Today we had a half day tour to Omaha Beach,  one of 5 landings on D-day.  We toured the German bunkers on the bluff and visited the American War cemetery. After that it was definitely time to taste the local apple brandy Calvados.
