Trip to Brittany - 5/27-28

Left DC for Rennes in Brittany (Bretagne). Nice wait with Richard in the Air France VIP lounge). Smooth, on time flight with little drama.

CDG, our Paris stopover, proved amazingly complex (long bus rides, customs lines and walking) but we had plenty of time. A one hour drive to Cancale, Brittany, where a very nice receptionist (Eleanor of Normandy) informed us we were a day early!

Eleanor was nice enough to book us at an excellent nearby hotel and with an exceptional local restaurant. We enjoyed a nice bottle of champagne before heading out. Dinner was tasty and traditional. The oysters with toasted buckwheat were a highlight. Calvados - though Norman - is popular.

Great overnight stay with a luxurious breakfast.

Tomorrow - Mont Saint Michel.Read more
