The city I work on the outkirsts Inside a castle ruins from 1504, this is the metro Vannes. I am here every day weekend but try to keep the writings low, now one more time today just for the walks. To see it one more time before departing tomorrow to the northeast of Brazil for a week.
Vannes is it, the tourism info again is here: http://www.tourisme-vannes.com/
It was a quick visit to the Le Port area .There was a expo on the meaning of the European Union very good timing indeed. Folks selling chicks from big chicken hens, Harley Davidson big bikes parked, beautiful boats as usual in the marina canal, and just plain lively ambiance.
We did some shopping at a new store La Cour d’Orgéres, jellies, cold meats in terrines and patês with artisans beers, and juices, cider, cookies florentins, etc all traditionally done, new store at rue St Vincent. http://www.lacourdorgeres.com/la-cour-dorgeres-boutique-epicerie-fine-au-c-ur-de-vannes,de206.html
Not to forget a last minute visit to the halles aux poissons traditional fish market, and the Saturday big marché or market between the rue le Hellec to place du poids public and into the place des lices. Always glorious. http://www.mairie-vannes.fr/vannesdecouverte/marches/halles/
