We are a family of four, who are going to have a year long sabbitical that takes us to Europe, South

We successfully picked up our rental car in Paris and zipped out of town on the amazing French highway system (though the 28 Euro toll was a bit of a shocker!) to Douarnanez, a lovely fishing town in Brittany. Our week with the Andersons at the Castellan family home overlooking the Plage du Ris was a pleasant mix of sunny days at the beach, rainy days in medieval towns, and an exceptionally windy day at France s most western tip, Pointe du Raz.
I have always car rentals in san antonio loved Brittany as it is so distinct from the rest of the country. It reminds car rentals in san antonio of me of Newfoundland in this way. The culture is very tied to it s Celtic roots and we had a super fun afternoon at the Breton Games where Dominic tried his luck at Boule-ten and Madeleine competed in a stick wrestling competition.  The slate roofed, grey rock buidlings, rolling green hills and very purple hydrangea car rentals in san antonio plants are very distinct to this region.
The food is more simple-the butter is out of this world, the crepes, which originate from this area are heavenly and the locally car rentals in san antonio made cider washes everything down nicely. car rentals in san antonio The seafood is abundant and we tried the local speciality, langoustines, which are somewhere between a lobster and a crayfish. The man at the fish counter at the Hyper-Marche convinced me that making my own homemade mayonnaise would be tres simple and I wish I had a photo of me dipping my langoustines into my light fluffy mayonnaise but I all can say is the fish guy lied. The saucisson (probably my favourite French word) and cheese is abundant. My mouth still waters at the very memorable hazelnut saucisson-whoknew.
The location of our home for the week could not have been more perfect. The Castellan car rentals in san antonio (family friend s from Vancouver) home is perched on a cliff above the bay and an old Roman road (as one travels through Europe you can not help but be amazed at their industriousness) passes in front of the house and provides an incredibly scenic walk to town. The trail into town was made even more amazing by the fact that it winds its way through a petting zoo/hobby farm, where I learned that baby pigs are called porcelets. Remy developed a certain fascination with a French chicken, which meant I could sit on a nearby bench and talk with Becky.
The food, sights and experiences were all enhanced by being able to share it with the Andersons. Having ten days together to explore Paris and this lovely corner car rentals in san antonio of the world was a great way to start our time here and we look forward to hosting them at the Grange Piquet in Provence.
We are a family of four, who are going to have a year long sabbitical that takes us to Europe, South East Asia and beyond. We are looking forward to a slower car rentals in san antonio pace, lots of adventures and bonding as a family.
