Not on a Thursday!

So, the French don't understand their bus timetables either!

We had checked that we could get the bus to Pont-l'Abbe today. Oui! Err, non!

So as we wanted to see Concarneau too and the bus was due in 10 minutes that's where we went! Some details below.

A beautiful place and a lovely crepe for lunch. It was quite hot today so we walked around the port (didn't realise until we got home that the shops were inside the walled Close Ville but it saved a bob or two)!

Then two buses back and a welcome dip in the pool! For those who followed my Blip three months ago when I started to swim I can now do about 2 lengths of breast stroke, 1 of front crawl and a little bit of back crawl. It's a nice way to unwind in the afternoon.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Concarneau
Konk-Kerne
Concarneau's harbour and centre
Concarneau (Breton: Konk Kerne, meaning Bay of Cornwall) is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France. Concarneau is bordered to the west by the Baie de La Forêt.

The town has two distinct areas: the modern town on the mainland and the medieval Ville Close, a walled town on a long island in the centre of the harbour. Historically, the old town was a centre of shipbuilding. The Ville Close is now devoted to tourism with many restaurants and shops aimed at tourists. However restraint has been shown in resisting the worst excesses of souvenir shops. Also in the Ville Close is the fishing museum. The Ville Close is connected to the town by a drawbridge and at the other end a ferry to the village of Lanriec on the other side of the harbour.
