Today was a red letter day as we were actually up early enough to get to the market by 10:30 (although it is only about a 30 minute drive).\u00a0 The Treguier market is really nice \u2013 the best so far \u2013 and we bought peas (in their pod) for dinner and some gifts to bring home.\u00a0 We were also entertained by a few different groups of beasties\u2026<\/p>\n

We both really liked Treguier.\u00a0 We strolled up some streets to the town square where we found a patio at Le Martray to enjoy a proper lunch because we were there, and hungry, during the lunch hours, and where we were joined by another new friend.\u00a0 It was a bit chilly as we were sitting in the shade, but better to be eating al fresco than hidden inside \u2013 nothing that a jacket couldn\u2019t fix.<\/p>\n

\"untitled-0148\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \"untitled-0162\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Following lunch, we ducked into the cathedral on the other side of the square\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026 then continued our stroll through the old section of the town, including the cemetery behind the cathedral and the Mairie (town hall that used to be a convent).\u00a0 What a contrast between the busyness of the market hours and the peacefulness afterwards.\u00a0 The streets were virtually empty.<\/p>\n

This was an excellent day at the market and, although we have been here so long now that we\u2019re almost nationalized and parking on the curb has become second nature, we still think like Canadians so were thankful our car was still where we left it 5 hours later!!!<\/p>\n

On a few of our drives, I noticed some intriguing \u201cfigures\u201d that were quite unusual.\u00a0 Turns out they are people, made from leaves, that are created and hung each spring in certain locations around the region.\u00a0 I tried to capture a few\u2026<\/p>\n

We were back home early enough to spend a couple of hours at the beach where we walked in the water up to our knees.\u00a0 The incoming tide had other plans for us, though, and after only about 5 minutes I was wet up to my thighs.\u00a0 So much for staying dry.<\/p>\n

We ate in tonight and had one final round of scallops on linguini to use up the leftover scallops.\u00a0 Still tasted good.<\/p>\n

As we have only 2 more full days here in Brittany \u2013 hard to believe a month has passed already \u2013 we got serious about our plans to return to Paris for our Monday flight home and decided to go back through Dieppe.\u00a0 After a little research in my \u201cBackroads of France\u201d book and TripAdvisor, I made a reservation for Saturday night in Veulettes-sur-Mer, about 30km from Dieppe.\u00a0 And another reservation for Sunday night at the Novotel at Charles de Gaulle in Paris.\u00a0 Once you start making these arrangements, you know your vacation is coming to an end \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
