Monday, our program went to Guérande, La Croisic and La Baule all found in Brittany. Guérande is a lovely city with a Medieval feel since its surrounded by ramparts. Its claim to fame is salt--for gastronomy not for melting ice on roads. We enjoyed a lovely morning walking around seeing the church, salt museum and various shops that all seemed to be centered around salt mainly.
La Croisic is a seaport on the Atlantic coast. We did not have much time here but what we did see was charming. We had crepes for lunch accompanied by cider which is a specialty in Bretagne and Normandy as well.
La Baule was the last stop for the day and the down point due to weather. It rained most of the time but we were only there for a few hours. Instead of being in the rain, we moved into a café for the remainder of the time there. Its claim to fame is the longest beach in Europe which we went to take a peak at--why not we were already wet from the rain! We normally hang out at Le Kent but as we were not in Angers, another café was needed. It worked well too--shelter and beverages. Those are the basic human needs last time I checked. So here we are left to right and round the tables: Jaclyn, Ramona, Pierre (frequent partner in crime of mine), Naomi, Shannon (another frequent accomplice of mine), me and Timotha.
