  In NZ it is the 19th August so happy birthday dad. We cycled to Mont st Michel this morning but the tide was still out so didnt take any more photos. 10km cycle ride later we filled the van with water and headed away.  We are now in Bouzouges in a really nice spot with plants all around and only 3 of us here. We went for a walk about the town classes as a Petite ville de France  which I guess means its a cute little village , and it is. We went to the information centre and a really helpful chap gave us guides for Brittany ( where are there now ) and a walking tour of the town. Which we did.   amazing amount of public planting  a rather nice painting putting all the oldest houses in the same street, there are tomatoes and aubergines growing in the garden rather odd things hanging on the side of the church quite an arty town the tour book said these are death masks of men executed in the town an interesting use of old drink bottles, each one has a plant in...

We had a busy day exploring Vannes, more timbered buildings and cobbled streets, a little train and nice pedestrianised areas. See P's blog for photos  At St Nazaire P gave me a guided tour of the commando rid of 1942 where they rammed a boat into the lock to stop boats and submarines getting in. P's blog will have the full story and lots of photos so I won repeat it all here. this is a monument  remembering slavery shipments clever roof designs they are on lots of different buildings  that line up  We had parked by the submarine pens on the docks with 13 other motorhomes and a couple of boats in front of us but at midnight we gave up, the boats had generators going and the motor hum never stopped.  We drove around...

 Le Lude was an amazing chateau that wouldn't let us take photos inside.... Link to the chateau The rooms had a lot of furniture and a great library. The grounds were rather nice as well. enjoying the sunshine never too old or a swing why a hedgehog on the front Then off to visit troglodytes at Troo...the area we drove though was based on a lot of limestone hills and the locals for years have been carving out houses and storage.   poor St Roc always shown with his leg exposed they had glasses in the water that had calcified been awhile since these worked bought the t-shirt  should confuse people who read it We stayed the night behind the mayors office it was lovely and quiet not a sound all night.  Next day we headed to Vendome and had a walk about the streets. rather odd to have the man off the horse Then finally today we settled in Chateaudun in a camp where we talked to some brits who got sick of cancelling there holidays and decided to just come over. A bit cold ...
