Billiers, Bretagne, France

5-10-07 BILLIERS, BRETAGNE, FRANCE: We hit the road a bit later this morning driving into the wind which got harder and harder until tonight when it is blowing gale force. The door to our new room at Domaine de Rochevilaine, ten feet from the ocean, is rattling away. This place is beautiful and gracious and worth each of its four stars. This room is getting so buffetted it feels like being in a boat.

Today we stopped at different coastal vista for the water, flowers, rocks and wind. We saw another old city center and cathedral at Quimper and an old walled island town at Concarneau. Both were good stops. We had lunch in front of that cathedral, shrouded for renovation, of course. Inside the nave is bent, perhaps because an older building was incorporated into the construction.
