Brittany

Went on up to  Brittany, on the Northern Coast, with the host family in early november, during on of the school vacations (I'll explain how the school here work in a different post). The vacation was defined by the ocean, rocks, sea food, and a lot ( A LOT) of wind. Apparently, it also usually rains just about always up in Bretagne, but we got lucky this time.

Bretagne flag.

Bretagne (Brittany, in english) is a district up in the North-west corner of France, on the coast of the Atlantic ocean. It's considered one of the 6 celtic nations, and is well known for being home to the 'megaliths', mysterious rock formations set up by the ancient Celts.

A little hard to tell in this picture, but here at Carnac
there are just miles and miles and miles of stones set up in straight lines.

Bretagne's also pretty well known for the seafood...

These are called coquilles saint jaques,
basically just mussels. Very common here.

Crabs... You eat the legs, then pop off the top bit and
eat whats in there too.

Also at the north-west coast, the ocean! Beautiful.
