Just back from taking a small group to eastern Brittany for a four day visit to some famous and a few secret places in the area. We stayed in my favourite gites at Combourg, where the chateau was a highlight of our tour, spent a day at Fougères including the fabulous castle and the beautiful beech forest there which contains some remarkable antiquities, and explored Vitré with its unusual chateau.

Then we went north for the cathedral at Dol-de-Bretagne and the oldest houses in Brittany in
the rue des Stuarts. A nobleman from Dol was the original 'steward' (or
management executive as we'd probably say today) in Scotland and so the
founder of the Stuart dynasty. Final moments were on the top of Mont
Dol, looking over the
polders to Mont St Michel.
