This is slightly out of order as it was before we had our visitors and before we went to St Malo. The 41st edition of the European Heritage Days took place on 21 and 22 September 2024. This year, it had two themes: “Heritage of routes, networks and connections” and “Maritime”
On these days a large number of châteaux, churches and other heritage sites held open days for the public. We chose to visit the Manoir d’Even which is not far from Josselin and where I had already been for a medieval festival and I thought Pauline would find it interesting. The Manoir has recently been bought by a young French couple and they have a huge task ahead of them. They showed us around the Manoir and grounds and explained some of the renovations required. Happily as the theme this year was “heritage of routes and connections” a local classic car club turned up with some fabulous cars. We had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon here.
This was a nice afternoon in the country, I have to say my French struggled a bit with the vocabulary around restoring ancient buildings!
