Tim and I have been travelling in Brittany (or Bretagne) for a few days, staying with one of my cousins in a little village called Landévant. We’ve been going on little excursions each day. Our first day here, we went to see the cathedral in St. Anne d’Auray before spending a day in Vannes, the city where my grandparents used to live. The cathedral in St. Anne d’Auray is one of the holiest places in Brittany—Pope Jean Paul II came here—and is much more ornate than the one in Vannes. Here’s a side by side comparison:
Funny to find TV monitors in the cathedral at St. Anne!
The medieval center in Vannes is so colorful, and I love how crooked the buildings are. These two were almost touching!
Love the dichotomy between the newer architecture (and the roof!) and the old!
We took a ferry to Belle Ile yesterday. Le Palais, one of the port towns there, is super colorful.
After some hiking through the forest and the Vauban fortress, we happened upon a quiet, secluded little beach, and decided to spend the day there.
