DAY TRIP TO L'ORIENT IN BRITTANY

 L'Orient, a town in Brittany has a long history and during the second world war it was razed to the ground and every thing we see now was built since then. It is a nice town to visit. But I enjoyed my ride from Quiberon to L'Orient

We passed through several villages and small towns on our way to L'Orient . This one, Kernescob


St. Pierre Quiberon 


Quiberon may have been an island once upon a time and now an isthmus connects to the mainland.

The village of Erdeven has a large collection of pre historic menhirs and dolmens, second only in extant to Carnac, nearby


Brittany maintains a typical architecture and even new houses are built in the tradition of the old 

We crossed a small body of water on this bridge and entered the town of L'Orient, modern with all the conveniences. We decided to have lunch at a resto, Le Carre 

My meal was from the Sea.

The return journey was coloured by the golden hues of the sunset. Regardless of where you saw the sunset and how many times, it always evokes a sense of Saudade, a longing for things that has been left behind on your journeys.






It was nice to get out on this sunny but cold 5C day, surrounding yourself with the soothing scenery of Brittany.
