Our first stop today was Pont Aven. A very popular spots for painters since the late 1800s. We wandered along the banks of the Aven River and sampled some yummy local butter biscuits.

 

 

 

 

 

We then went to the port town of Doëlan, where the french version of Doc Martin is filmed.

 

 

 

Next we visited the WW2 submarine base built by the Germans, but then used by the French during the 'Cold War', in Lorient. We spent on interesting couple of hours in the museum and the submarine Flore S645. Always amazed at how much they can fit in the submarines.

 

 

 

 

As we still have had no news from the Italians regarding the panels we need to fix Bluey, we went to a motorhome accessory store to ask if the steps and door where a standard piece. Bottom line, no luck, we will need to continue to be VERY patient.

So from here we decided to head towards Carnac, an area famous for its megaliths. Something we will explore tomorrow.
