Last night was spent at Pont L'Eveque. The thought of stying somewhere that was also a cheese was just too tempting. It is a fairly attractive town that was severely bombed in August 1944 so a lot of the buildings have been rebuilt. We parked for free overnight in the main carpark and had a rather fabulous galette in Cafe Normandie.
Strangely, the Tourist Office has a sign letting visitors know that they’re 331 km from Ottery St Mary in Devon. Well, we were wondering…and a corkscrew laden Christmas tree was a delight to behold. Santa has to have something to open his wine as he sits by the fireplace after delivering his gifts to all the children.

| Aerial view of the castle in Fougéres |
We’ve now arrived in Fougéres in Brittany. There is a rather lovely medieval quarter and a castle which is not Hugo friendly so we gave that a miss. Once again, we’ve parked in the centre of town for free and we can stay here overnight. Speaking of Santa, we noticed him in the Tourist Office obviously getting directions to the local children’s chimneys.

| Are you lost…? |
With any luck we’ll arrive in Carnac for the solstice in a couple of days time.
