So having bloviated about our travel day France - Wednesday the 24th to Monday the 29th. which started Wednesday the 24th and ended Thursday the 25th in Piriac sur Mer , we had all day Friday until the pre-wedding dinner Friday evening. So in the morning we walked through Piriac and down to the harbor.
From our window Brigid checking things out while my shirt tries to de-wrinkle.

Here is what Brigid is looking at -

so then we took off on a walk.


Other side of the bay - probably 4 -5 miles away - wind farm!



You can tell from the sun in the east, it's still fairly early in the morning.

Wow. I need to iron my face. But at least no nose hairs ...

Off the waterfront and into town

St. Pierre Church where the wedding is held the next day. See the sailing ship hanging from the roof? There have been a series of Churches on this spot since 570! The current one dates from 1787.


I was the only person wearing a FRANCE hat. But these hats were all over France!

BUT THERE'S MORE!
Then for the afternoon we looked on the map and decided to take a drive to Le Croisic, although we'd no idea what the place was like. And we made a detour on the way to Hotel Barrieire L'Hermitage, where that evening's drinks and dinner was to be held. It turned out to be well worth the drive - Le Croisic, very cool place, further south down the coast at the end of a short peninsula. And historic re: WW 2 - see my note at the bottom. But will limit to three pictures.

There was a big art exhibit going on in there (very pricey) - we visited but no pictures allowed.See Brigid?


Ok four pictures. I fibbed.

Five. Do you see Brigid?

NOTE
A few miles south from Le Croisic a very famous WW II British commando raid took place in March, 1942 - St Nazaire Raid . Very successful, but with very high commando casualties. They came by sea and had to slip past a German radar site in Le Croisic, which they succeeded in doing.
