the path above the sea in St Gildas de Rhuys

SPRINGTIME

I stayed for a few days in the "Presqu'île de Rhuys" (golfe du Morbihan, Brittany): beautiful place, beautiful weather, not crowded at this time of the year, and a swim in the cold waters of the ocean might be healthy...

SUMMERTIME: the MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL in Bayeux

In front of the Bayeux cathedral

SUMMER medieval event in BAYEUX on the first weekend of July...

See my Bayeux pages for more details. Bayeux railway station will be nice and brand new, but at the moment it's all in a mess. The town centre is all right now. more souvenir shops, fine little restaurants....

Touring MEDIEVAL NORMANDY

the "hic sic" postcard

The countryside in the inner part of Normandy (Orne, in the neighborhood of Sarthe or Maine) is very beautiful.

The city of SEES is worth a visit: mediaeval town, with a cathedral much similar to the one in Bayeux. Should go back there and around to take some pics. DOMFRONT also offers a nice landscape, from up a hill, and there's a medieval fair in the summer... AND SNOW IN WINTER

MEDIEVAL BAYEUX : apart the beautiful embroidery (UNESCO patrimony) it is worth seeing the mediaeval architecture of the cathedral and walking around in town. In the summer the tourist office provides walks with guides

Paris

at Place des Vosges

"Oh the summertime is coming...."

on the first SUNDAY of each month NATIONAL MUSEUMS offer FREE entrance...

and cultural life is all around, open your eyes and ears...
At the PLACE DES VOSGES, there's an excellent chord (violins,cello) orchestra playing each weekend afternoon, and they sell their CDs which are very good (only available from the spot)

Holidays in South France

viewing Carcassonne from the remparts

Tracking my ancestors lead me to Carcassonne....

I spent a wonderful day there last summer visiting the castle, shopping, having nice fresh drinks here and there, walking around the medieval city: a very touristic place!
