And here I go again revising old post and new text with the wonderful season of Christmas in my lovely Bretagne. This I have to say is our favorite town for Christmas in all of Bretagne! Rochefort en Terre in my beautiful Morbihan!
Let me give you a brief on it here with some pictures from 2015. Hope you enjoy it as I do! You must come and see it ok
Once again ,I past by my favorite Christmas town in my region, this is Rochefort-en-Terre, magical land.
We come by car on the N165 expressway getting off at La Roche Bernard and continuing on the road D774 passing Marsan, Paule, Limerzel, before reaching Rochefort en Terre on some wonderful twisting roads. You can also ,go by the N166 direction Rennes and then take the D775 road direction Questembert ,then road D777 direction Pluherlin, and reaching Rochefort en Terre.
We have come every year for the last five here and each year is wonderful. It is indeed a magical town as been small it completely shape up as a Christmas market with beautiful decorations. Folks come in by 17h or 5 pm to really enjoy the lights all over and good cheers. And get good parking! The whole town is loaded!
We had our apéro at the Le Menestrel pub restaurant at Place St Michel, and then onward we go, tasting bit and bites all over the chalets and commerces open all night. I was told it is closed,need to confirm.
The castle of great painters history is all decorated for the event. It is a magical place and even magic by the NAIA museum! The painters history from a Alfred Klots born in St Germain en Laye (78) but family came from Baltimore MD USA to renovate the castle and house the painters.
And, of course, the Church Notre Dame de la Tronchaye is on inside and outside with beautiful decoration and a wonderful nativity scene!
There is ,also, a wonderful nativity scene at place des Halles and Place St Michel. Like I said and repeat, the whole town is a Christmas market with great seasonal foodies and gifts and hugely popular lights decorations. A must while in the area, and worth coming to it me think.
