We hit the motorway today, what else would you do on a road trip, and ended up in Vannes in Brittany. The old town is walled to keep out invaders like us, but we sneaked unobtrusively over the drawbridge with a few thousand others to peek at the old medieval town. Modern shops are on the ground floor of buildings which have struggled to stay upright for hundreds of years. This is an amazing place and we will enjoy our two days here.
“The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.” – Samuel Johnson
