France - Brittany
Nantes Music festival
After Le Mans I had a week with Stig who was working in Nantes for a couple of weeks. We ate at a lot of nice restaurants and spent almost every night watching World Cup soccer matches in the pub. Our favorite match was England vs Sweeden as we were in an Irish pub which was half full of English people supporting their team the rest was French people supporting Sweden. Funny. One night we went to the Nantes Music festival which was awesome. The inner city was packed with bands playing all sorts of music from Country to Jazz and Heavy Metal to Brazilian Drums. We walked around into the small hours checking out all the different acts..
The little fishing Village of Auray
When Stig knocked off work on Friday afternoon we jumped in the car and hit the road. We headed for Brittany and stopped for a beer in the little fishing village of Auray. We then carried on to Quiberon where we stayed for the next two nights. There was a great little pub across the square from the hotel where we watched more World Cup action, including a French game which brought all the locals out in force.
Cote Sauvage, The Savage Coast not looking too savage
Stig could not get enough of the topless mermaid statue
Surfin Brittany
We were in luck, we had small clean waves and offshore winds. We scored a couple of surf boards (Malibu's) and hit it, we had a couple of great hours until the winds swung onshore and chopped the waves up.
Ohhh great sea food!!
After Quiberon we checked out Mont St Michel which was really awesome but full of tourists. We had some great food on the trip but we noticed one thing about eating in Brittany, if you don't like crepes you are in trouble. After driving around and seeing nothing but Creperies we were inspired to start the "Crepe's are Crap" campagn.
