Plougasnou - Commune in Finistère

Monday – The alarm woke us at 07:45 for coffee in bed and breakfast at 09:15 with Barbara in her kitchen. We had to keep moving because Isabell and Abdel were picking us up to see the “Moulin de Trobodec” a water mill near “Guimaëc” but alas it was very muddy, and we didn’t get very far. We then went to “Saint-Jean-du Doight” to see the church and have lunch in “Plougasnou”. As the weather remained stable we decided to walk to the customs house on the hill and the menhir. With the westerly sea wind blowing again it was bitterly cold, but we are slowly getting acclimatised. Isabelle insisted that I borrow one of Abdel’s woolen winter jumpers. Wonderful and warm. With time to spare we drove to “Plouezoch” to see the “Cairn de Barnenez”, but of course being a Monday, it was closed although we did climb up the steep embankment and peered through the fence and Abdel climbed a small tree. On the way home we deviated from our route to see “Saint-Thégonnec Loc-Eguiner” and do some shopping. Our evening meal was prepared by hosts, Barbara and Maxine. We feasted on truffles and seaspider crab, finishing with a light refreshing dessert. For dinner we were joined by Isabelle and Abdel. Tonight, a prepack for tomorrow’s departure. As we were going to bed, light snow started to fall and temperatures were noticeably down.Read more
