So having bloviated about our travel day France – Wednesday the 24th to Monday the 29th.<\/a>  which started Wednesday the 24th and ended Thursday the 25th in Piriac sur Mer<\/a> , we had all day Friday until the pre-wedding dinner Friday evening. So in the morning we walked through Piriac and down to the harbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From our window Brigid checking things out while my shirt tries to de-wrinkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what Brigid is looking at –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

so then we took off on a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other side of the bay – probably 4 -5 miles away  – wind farm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can tell from the sun in the east, it’s still fairly early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow. I need to iron my face. But at least no nose hairs …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off the waterfront and into town<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Pierre Church where the wedding is held the next day. See the sailing ship hanging from the roof? There have been a series of Churches on this spot since 570! The current one dates from 1787.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was the only person wearing a FRANCE hat. But these hats were all over France!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT THERE’S MORE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then for the afternoon we looked on the map and decided to take a drive to Le Croisic<\/a>, although we’d no idea what the place was like. And we made a detour on the way to Hotel Barrieire L’Hermitage<\/a>, where that evening’s drinks and dinner was to be held. It turned out to be well worth the drive – Le Croisic, very cool place, further south down the coast at the end of a short peninsula. And historic re: WW 2 – see my note at the bottom. But will limit to three pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a big art exhibit going on in there (very pricey) – we visited but no pictures allowed.See Brigid?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok four pictures. I fibbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five. Do you see Brigid?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few miles south from Le Croisic a very famous WW II British commando raid took place in March, 1942 – St Nazaire Raid<\/a> . Very successful, but with very high commando casualties. They came by sea and had to slip past a German radar site in Le Croisic, which they succeeded in doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
