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: The North

 

(vero;2019-March-30)

All our pictures have been taken in winter in the months of December or January. 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.

The gallery includes pictures taken during two one-week sojourns in the north of Brittany, the first one in Roz-Landrieux not far from the Mont Saint Michel (one of our favourite places in France) and the second in Saint-Malo.

Brittany in winter? Highly recommended!

Setting the scene… This gallery includes many pictures taken between Pointe du Meinga and Pointe du Grouin, a particularly delightful stretch of the coastal path. Unfortunately we do not have pictures of our walks from Saint-Malo to Dinard and beyond but rest assured that they are really worth the effort. Also do not miss our photo section dedicated to the <a href="/France/photos/Le_Mont_Saint_Michel">Mont Saint Michel</a> (Map data ©2019 Google).

The island Du Guesclin between Pointe du Meinga and Pointe du Grouin is cut from the mainland at high tide. It got its name from the old French noble family Du Guesclin who built a fortified castle on its ground in 1026 and was once the residence of the French singer <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9o_Ferr%C3%A9">Léo Ferré</a>.

Based in Plouégat-Moysan, we explored the highly photogenic Côte de Granite Rose at Ploumanach between Perros-Guirec and Saint-Guirec but honestly, we thoroughly enjoyed every part of the coastal path we hiked through during this sojourn (Map data ©2019 Google).
