Trip of November and December 2007

The city of Rennes offers its unique architecture typical of the La Bretagne region. We visit the gardens, castles, museums and churches.

The intersection of corridors, towers and multiple pieces sometimes gave a headache to the stonemason who was to shape the stairs connecting them to each other!

Every day, the producers proudly present the fruits of their labor at the flower market in Rennes.

La Bretagne (France) 5

Trip of November and December 2007

The town and the bay of Mont Saint-Michel are classified World Heritage by UNESCO since 1979.

This is a granitic rocky islet where a shrine was built in honor of the archangel St. Michael. The beginning of the building dates from the year 709 ... and all is still here!

Cut stones and cut stones again, walled gardens. We enjoy a guided tour through the abbey ... and through time!

The mystery of megalithic alignments of Lagatjar. Huge standing stones on earth. Historians today think it was created about 2500 years BC.

Contemporary alignments of Carnac alignments Lagatjar formed in 1776. A set of 600 menhirs.
These are impressive and enigmatic witnesses of our distant ancestors.

One would think that Asterix and Obelix have been there!
