Favorite Thing: Generally speaking when travelling in France we have never felt threatened , never been mugged or the victims of thieving scams.
On only two occasions, in many years, has our car been vandalised - once - a broken screen wiper -in a city centre after a big sporting event, and outside a B&B near the ferry terminal in Le Havre.
Worse things have happened in the Uk and in other European cities.
In rural France we always encounter friendliness and helpfulness but are not naive enough to think everywhere is populated by saints and take the sensible safety precautions that become second nature at home and abroad.
Frequent reading of the local newspapers reveals the same social, political and economic concerns as anywhere else in the western world .
But here in Roscanvel, on the Crozon peninsula , we found the parish church open to anyone who wished to enter . Perhaps a measure of the trust in this small community.
