Stopover in Nantes, as they say, the secret capital of Brittany, which it is no longer nowadays. However, many inhabitants of Nantes still feel that way. The sun is shining and we wander through the city. A rather lively city, characterized by many young people, we assume by many students. In our eyes

Slowly, we unfortunately have to leave the beautiful coastal regions and make our way to Rennes. Here too, we find the beautiful old buildings and mighty churches again. Thus, we enjoy the two beautiful sunny days in Rennes.

The further path also leads us to Lorient, where the old submarine bunkers from the Second World War can be seen, some certainly familiar from the film DAS BOOT of that time. Today, guided tours are offered here on some days, and other parts are still used meaningfully. Afterwards, we go to the stone

On a 3-week trip, one must also expect a rain shower or some gray skies, which is what happened to us in Brest and its surroundings. No matter, we make the best of it, we are not made of sugar after all. By chance, there was an open day at the fortress in Brest, which is a military base for the Navy

We reach Saint Malo in the most beautiful sunshine, before that we had visited The Sculptured Rocks, a truly worthwhile work on the coast. The evening sun makes the pictures even more beautiful. We spent 3 days here and let our souls wander. The water temperature is pleasant, it's fun to walk through

After a first-class breakfast with our private landlords near Le Mont Saint Michel, we drive on small paths to Saint Michel. From about 3 km before the parking lot, it gets really crowded and you only see crowds streaming to the small island, but we have to get through it. The morning light is ideal

Since I forgot to stop my watch, I can only use the hike as a placeholder. I didn't start it again in Le Havre and Honfleur, nor in Caen.

We capture the many impressions of Rouen and in the morning have a great view of the city with the Seine. For this, you climb a small hill on the outskirts of the city. The path is easy to walk and has various steps.

On today's stage to Rouen, we had a stopover in Amiens. Another great city where you should definitely stop. We combined it with a visit to Jules Verne and the city center with the beautiful houses and the huge churches, or rather cathedrals. They are so mighty that it's hard to take a photo without distortion. A great city.

On our France tour, we visited the city of Lille this afternoon and were very pleasantly surprised by all there is to see here. It is recommended to stroll through the old town center. You can also try one or two delicacies along the way.

Today's tour from Hayle to Saint Ives is rather flat and goes through villages with beautiful houses and gardens. Of course, you'll reach the water in between. It's a shorter section that brings a few more altitude meters just before Saint Ives. Saint Ives is a small, cute town that is, however, heavily influenced by tourism.

Today's stage leads from Portreath to Hayle with approx. 20 km. Again, a very beautiful morning awaits me after the hearty English breakfast has been consumed. In Portreath, it's straight down to business, as some altitude meters have to be quickly conquered. After that, there are two more gorges to

In the morning, the start was still mystical, as the lake mist kept coming up onto the plateau, but it was also beautiful. The hike started in Perranporth and ended in Portreath. The tour is already very strenuous and you need some stamina. Again, I can only say, the coastal path is simply fantastic.

Today's hike takes us from Newquay to Perranporth on the South West Coast Path. The bays are already partially busy, as it is summer holidays here, which does not bother us on the hiking trail, as it is quite empty. Today too, the weather god is kind to us, he grants us 25*C. It is a real pleasure to

We are staying another day in Nantes and are looking at Le Grand Éléphant. Quite a funny technical monster that causes amusement. In an exhibition in the old shipyard hall, you can see more creatures (admission €12). In the free outdoor area, you will find a carousel and a dragon. In the afternoon, we go to the old town again.
