We came home from Guédelon via a night in Chartres, famous for probably the finest gothic cathedral in France. I will remember it for the excellent oysters I had at dinner that night!
Our friend Kathryn Bethune popped over from Wales, on the train. Two and a half hours from London to Paris on the Eurostar! Why would anyone bother flying? Actually they mostly don’t these days. We had a great time showing her around Brittany, we hired a Fiat from our local supermarket! and drove up to Brest via L’Orient and back via Quimper, which is a stunning medieval town with lots of half timbered houses. We took her to see the standing stones at Carnac, we went to the best restaurant in Josselin, La Table d’O where we had an education in dining up market French-style, we walked in the countryside. It was a fun week.
