Tuesday, October 11 after spending two nights in Vannes in southern Brittany, it was time to move north. After the nightmare of getting to where we were parked there was no way I wanted to drive the car back to our apartment, so we walked with our luggage to the car. Thankfully we pack light.

We stopped in Carnac on the way. Carnac has over 3,000 standing stones, the largest collection of such stones in the world. They believe the stones were erected around 3300 B.C., though some may date back to as early as 4500 B.C. They stretch for about 4 kilometers and we concentrated on just one section. The large stone field is fenced off so we walked around it. Many of the stones are in rows.

We left the stones and went to the beach. I imagine it’s quite busy here in the summer, but this time of year it was quiet. We enjoyed some time there on this beautiful sunny day.

We headed north to Dinan and met our host for the apartment we rented at the parking garage. We are staying in the medieval part of town on a pedestrian street. She showed us around this fantastic place, old and with character, but modern at the same time. She provided many extra touches to make our stay comfortable.

We walked around looking for a good place for dinner and ended up going to a restaurant that is a one minute walk from our door. We both had delicious scallop crepes. Mine was with mushrooms and Jim’s was with leeks. Yum! I forgot take pictures.
