5th July 2009 – Dinan

What a fantastic town! We’d spotted a write up in the French book we’ve got but the setting was amazing. The Aire is situated right underneath the viaduct in what is classed as Port Dinan and is within five minutes of Dinan proper.
The weather was perfect we set off around the town (a tad steep) looking at all the old medieval buildings, taking loads of photographs and just taking in the atmosphere. Everyone was so friendly and we ended up in a restaurant on the harbour front, Dean eating Moules Mariniere avec Frites and I had the Salad Paysanne.

Dean watched the locals to see how they ate the mussels and was chuffed to discover you eat them using the shell of the previous mussel to pick the next one out. He felt like a local!

3rd July 2009 – Beauvoir-sur-mer

On route to our next Aire we passed fields and more fields of sunflowers, their heads all pointing to the sun. The Aire was easy to find and again there were Dutch, German and French on site all giving bits of advice. Here we also watched Andy Murray bow out of Wimbledon, but at least he has a realistic chance of winning it next time!
We wandered into the village which again was covered in wonderful flower arrangements, then we stopped for our usual coffee and meandered back to the ‘van.
