France

La France… meilleur pays du monde (according to some).

Well. Let's face it: the French have it all. The highest mountains, the wildest coasts, amazing buildings, superb food, wines to die for… so what's not to like? (The frustrating strikes, perhaps?)

GR34: Léon

(vero;2024-May-15)

All our pictures have been taken in the winter month of December during a one-week sojourn in Goulven. They are proof that the weather can be very nice in this season with the added bonus of hardly a soul around. Of course, we had also cloudy and rainy skies but those are the days when we take the time to visit towns and the hinterland.

Brittany in winter? Highly recommended!

The picturesque coastguard house facing the sea at the old hamlet of Menez Ham. The place is now a tourist attraction void of inhabitants except for a gîte open to hikers.
