Nort-sur-Erdre

Cumul EV1: 331 km, Total 351 km

We had set our tent in the back of the campground, on the edge of a meadow bordered by the forest. Around 3 am, we hear the distinctive cracking sound of a tree about to fall and clung to our duvets!! It fell 20 yards away from us, a tall oak tree that fortunately wasn’t too wide!
We reach Blain for lunch time. The sandwiches at the bakery are very uninspiring but the tartelettes are compensating.. The rain starts again, brief but violent, and we indulge in a sablé with raspberry jam covered with chocolate ganache in the cover from the church entrance.
Traveling at this time of the year means avoiding many different types of fruits on the road. Plums, chestnuts, horse chestnuts, pine cones, apples…
We decide to stop in Nort-sur-Erdre and see if we can connect with Catherine the next morning.
All the restaurants are closed and we end up shopping at Super U for our dinner… Fortunately the campground offers a covered shelter for such situations and a friendly irish neighbor lends his bottle opener.Read more
