I have to be honest with you. We had no expectations from our road trip to Brittany. If Normandy were filled with places we couldn’t wait to see (Etretat, the D-Day beaches, Mont Saint-Michele), its neighbor on the West would be a total surprise for us.
And what a great surprise it was. We had days when we felt that we would get face-to-face with pirates coming out of one of the taverns of St Malo. Other times, it felt like we were back in the Middle Ages, strolling on the small streets of Dinan, Lehon, or Locronan. Or visit Josselin, one of the most beautiful medieval castles we have ever seen. And why not go even earlier than the Middle Ages, back to the prehistoric, walking through the megalithic stones in Carnac?
We had fresh seafood in Camaret-Sur-Mer and enjoyed freshly homemade pancakes for breakfast during one of our stays in Quimper. We have admired the beauty of nature on the rocks of Pen Hir and enjoyed the unique sculptures from the Valley of Saints.
And we returned to the present day, staying in Vannes and meeting some of our friends for a family photo shooting session.
