This was a special post on road warrior visit to a friend from work in Guérande, and while there visited the nearby coastal towns of Batz sur Mer. A wonderful coastal trip of my belle France just south of me in old Bretagne now in the Loire Atlantique dept 44 of the Pays de la Loire region. Let’s ride out this one together shall we! Therefore, let me tell you a bit on curiosities of Batz sur Mer !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
It was a rainy day, cloudy, and cool at 11C or about 55F ,and we went to Batz-sur-Mer, and can be a charm ! On our way out to Batz-sur-Mer we passed by the museum of salt marshes or Musée des Marais Salants . See the La Porteresse (carrier), a monumental bronze sculpture by Jean Fréour representing a Batzienne carrying salt using a gède. (see post).
We continue our journey now with our friends into the harbor area of Batz sur Mer, and saw the nice Church and tower of Saint-Guénolé. (see post).
There is, also, a wonderful monument to the fallen, standing in front of the ruined Notre-Dame-du-Mûrier Chapel. I needed to have a picture.

And remember happy travels, good health,and many cheers to all !!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
