Rainy Brittany

When we discussed options for our fall vacation, France was not the first destination that came to mind. But when Jürgen said he could also imagine a road trip to Brittany, it was a done deal. Freya even agreed to brush up on her old French from school.

The general idea was to go straight to Brittany, with only a few stops in between, so that the drive wouldn't be too long. After all, we only had two weeks in October.

There was plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures in September and early October, but as we got closer to our vacation, the weather forecast got worse. From the beginning we were expecting moody weather and some coastal wind, but what we got was more than we wanted.
