Market day! And a trip to Auray and the port of Saint-Goustan.

It was great to get back to the Saturday Market and buy some fresh produce
It’s an important part of village life
I may have bought too much bread though!

This morning we went to the market, then after lunch drove to Auray and bought the correct length curtains at a bricolage there, then headed to the port of Saint-Goustan where incidentally Benjamin Franklin arrived on 3 December 1776 at the beginning of the US war of independence to seek military aid from Louis XVI. Its a very pretty port and there’s an artist there we quite like, Marc Chaubaron. We dropped by and bought a couple of things of his for the house, and an illustrated copy of Le Petit Prince for 4 euros. He’s an interesting chap, I was glad to see he’s still in business.

The bridge is a protected national monument
There’s a tiny street at the back of this image and M Chaubaron’s studio is up there.

Streets of Saint-Goustan, Pauline likes the gargoyles.
This cat amused me
Not glamorous but we needed something to cover up a patch on the wall here

    It may not be glamorous but it’s certainly hilarious and I shall think of it next time I open a can of sardines for lunch. The bread looks very nutritious as well as delicious. I’d like to see some photos of Pauline please!
