Day 32 Sunday 20th June:
Woke to a beautiful sunny Sunday - sun streaming in as Helene slept on! Cleaned and tidied the van, and took water on board. Spoke to Maddie on Skype - she looked to be having a lovely dinner in Melbourne. Checked email and then left for Rennes.
Arrived for lunch, parking in a great location in the centre of the old town – great to have our own cafe in the best real-estate wherever we go!
Interesting to note the old market town square has been emasculated by two gross buildings plonked in the middle – obviously for undercover markets. Even the French get wrong at times! We checked out the old quarters – timber framed houses with many locals enjoying the ambience of the place.
Because we were heading towards Tours, we asked TT to find us an Aire on the way – viola! He leads us to a small market town (they are all old market towns!) of La Guerche de Bretagne. The village has a small market square with many old timber framed buildings hanging over narrow streets. Very quaint.
The Aire is situated right in the centre of the town just a street away from the old centre. We settled down for the night with a nice French red, alongside other vanners with the same info on French Aires. It is interesting, we have not felt unsafe in any of the areas that we have stopped in France, and for that matter, the UK.
James – must not forget his birthday tomorrow!! Happy birthday Jim!
