Quimper to Ste. Martine 35kms.





















Evening walk round Quimper and visit to wonderful cathedral. Our B&B was built for the clergy in 1550 and as you can see from the corner Shirley is standing at is a very interesting building on several levels. Today we found the elusive Green Routes which a fellow cyclist had told us about a few days ago. They are mainly old railtracks which the French Dr. Beeching had disused. Shirley is seen cycling along the quiet track.
Our coffee and lunch break was at Pont L'Abbe by an old church wall. A very pretty town set at the River Pont L'Abbe. After lunch we cycled on to Ste. Martine which as you can see is a lovely fishing/sailing port. We are in a modern house with a lady who wants to talk to us in very fast French but I have managed to organise the England /Scotland game on her tv tomorrow morning.

  3. You're certainly showing us some beautiful parts of France. And making me want to get on my bike and tackle some of Umbria's hilly terrain. Inspirational!
