the harbour of Paimpol after sunset
Tuesday, 7 August 2018 - our last day in Brittany
It's clouded today and it rained now and then, which was ok with us. We loved the coolness. I made some photos of our hotel Les Agapathes:
We started, after enjoying a lovely breakfast at our hotel, with visiting the extensive market at Paimpol: buying several items. Eggszackily at the moment I bought stuff, it started raining. Great timing, coz we could hide under the market stall cloth 😊
After our visit to the market we explored the impressive Abbaye de Beauport. Lots of information about this impressive abbey here (in french).
We did the tour with the French guide and afterwards walked a trail. I made far too many photos coz this place is soo enchanting: great plants, lovely old stones walls/ruins, apple trees and more.
the Abbey has 60 different species of apple trees, among them very old and rare ones
hortensias everywhere here in Brittany
We were just in time to reach the car coz it started raining cats and dogs (cleaning our car). After a drink at our hotel we had a lovely dinner at restaurant La Cabane Sur Les Quais Paimpol.
first course: tuna with fruits
and surprising first course which we will try to copy at home 😏
meat for a change
we both had tiramisu mojito for desert: very fresh (limes)
Afterwards we enjoyed the performance of a genuine rock band from Brittany at the harbour. When arriving Peter immediately recognized the members of the band coz they had been sitting at the neighbouring table at the restaurant. It's a small world.

After a stroll along the harbour back to the car, making photos of the boats mirroring in the water, we went home to our hotel.
This is the END of our holiday in Brittany/Normandy 😭. Tomorrow we will return home, with a stopover at Amiens.
