Bonjour!

We have arrived back home in the UK
We had such a lovely holiday in Southern Brittany.
Malestroit
Where to start?
The Gite was small but had everything we needed....we were out most of the time anyway!
Our home for two weeks
The nearest small town was Malestroit
Malestroit 
with a very pretty medieval centre. 
The first day (after arriving about 7pm the evening before) we decided to look around locally.
Just up the road from the gite were some megaliths at Les Pierres Droites.Then on to a very pretty and well kept village called Missiriac.

Then a little tour of Malestroit.
La Grange a Louise
The Town Square, Malestroit
We liked a lovely Creperie called La Grange a Louise where the waitress was especially proud of her Maison Lemon Crepe (and she had once lived in Stockport so was keen to speak English to us!)




Malestroit is on the River Oust and this meets the main Breast-Nantes Canal.
It has the prettiest lock I have ever seen!
For the whole holiday I was taking photos of the shop signs all over South Brittany
Here are just a few photos of signs in Malestroit.





This was the first full day of our holiday. I have loads of photos and places to share with you over the next few posts. They will be photo heavy and I hope that you bear with me as I enjoy reliving our lovely holiday through this blog.

    I'm glad you are back home after your lovely holiday and I will look forward to seeing more pictures of Brittany in future posts. Those street signs are so good I would have been taking lots of pictures too!

    It looks wonderful. I love the shop signs! Perhaps the French high street has more charm and individuality than ours. We are off to France to two weeks this weekend - I cannot wait! x

    This is the most fabulous place ever - the buildings are like something out of an art gallery! I bet the atmosphere was good too, your photography is really good and draws me in, I would love to go there one day. Betty

    It looks a very pretty village. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photos of Brittany as hubby is keen to go to France next year, probably Brittany as it's close. We've been once before, right at the very western end. I love how the architecture has it's own distinct style in different parts of Europe. I remember enjoying the crepes too!

    We try to visit France every couple of years - this year wasn't one of them as we have had so much on so these photos rekindled many memories. Roll on next year!
