France - Brittany - Morbihan - Vannes

I keep sorting the pictures of our one week holiday in Bretagne.

France - Brittany - Morbihan - Rochefort-en-Terre

Because some of my friends and relatives wanted to see more pictures of Bretagne (Brittany), I took a deep breath and I decided to show mostly all of them but divided into towns and places.

First, here comes Rochefort-en-Terre a "cité de caractère" and believe me this city really has a charming character. I can say that if you are near this city, you must see it!

Rochefort-en-Terre has a medieval atmosphere and the entire city looks like a film set.

The church Our Lady (L'eglise Notre Dame)













A workshop of art next to the church (Un atelier d'art)










A beautiful square where you can find the tourist office (Place du Puits)








The sign of the tourist office

The castle (Le château)
















The chapel of the castle (Le chapelle du château)

Bretagne - Morbihan

We have just returned from Bretagne. After a 10 hours driving (I did it alone!) I'm so tired and exhausted. While my husband serves me the ciders of Brittany I try to organise our pictures :-)

Although we had visited many places and we had seen many beautiful buildings and monuments I don't want to overwhelm you with my pictures, so I just show you the selected ones, the most interesting ones... but there are still plenty!
