5th/6th June
Travelled 386km to Carnac South Brittany and to a campsite called Les Druides.The region is famous for its Megaliths which are dotted across the area. Exhausted after a long drive, we found a Carrefour and bought food to BBQ and spent a very pleasant evening eating and drinking alfresco. Weather good, a little overcast towards the end of the evening with a few drops of rain.
It rained over night and into the morning then brightened about mid day, so we decided to take a walk via the beach into the centre ville. Very pretty town and tried the beer which was good too.Did about 4 mile circular walk.

Apparently, so the b****es said, 'cos I can't read, Dogs are not allowed on the beach in France!I can't believe they bought me all this way to keep me on the lead.So…..at the first opportunity I found a Bog of Eternal Stench!!! And jumped in up to my chest…ha ha take that and your stupid dog rules…..They are hopeless at finding their way on foot, so we ended up walking in a circle…totally pointless.There was a Mamby lookalike (Welsh Terrier) across the street who barked something at me which I didn't understand.
7th June
Made an early start (for us) to visit the market in Carnac. The usual wonderful array of French culinary delights, Sarah would have stayed all day……rained out ,so headed off to the megaliths. The whole area around Carnac is covered in hundreds of standing stones all lined up in rows facing towards sunrise on summer solstice, would be a great place to be at the end of the month…….maybe plan that for next year. The energy when you stand among the stones is incredible. We wanted to find out more about them and so went back to Carnac to visit the Museum, carbon dating on artefacts found in some of the Dolmen (burial tombs) also scattered all over the region, put some of them as early as 6,000 BC.
Pleasant evening, so sat out & drank too much rosé, at 1.5€ a bottle it's very easy drinking!

Got out of the magic silver box again somewhere different.What's the point in bringing me to a load of stones that I can't piss up!Sat and looked at them out of the window while the b****es cooked a full English Breakfast.The silver box got all steamed up and they set the fire alarm off and I only got a quarter of a sausage out of it all that was all, then we all walked around the large stones in a circle.I wanted to join the other people who had lots of food in boxes in the woods.
