1.6.10

It's not quite been a month yet


since I did that bike ride I wanted to talk about, so I am deciding it's not too late to put pictures of the rest of it.
For now, the Presqu'île du Croisic, which litterally would mean: the almost island of the Croisic (look at the map in a previous post to see why). So Le Croisic is the town at the north end of the almost island (also called Presqu'île guérandaise, I think) and it's a small harbor town.


The harbor is where the "traicts" are (don't ask me to translate), arms of the ocean entering into the lands and feeding the salted marshes.
Like in the Pouliguen, you don't want to miss the high tide to go in or out on a sailboat, because it might become a little bit of a problem.

The town was established a long time ago, since already Romans and Saxons were fighting for the spot. So there are a lot of very ancient buildings (I'm not saying the buildings were built by the romans and the saxons - it's just to say it's an old town - I dont' want to be yelled at by the other guy again) from different eras that look pretty neat.

Oh that's the crêperie... hmmmmm...

the mayor house,

the church (in case you didn't figure that out...) looking a lot like the ones you see around in this region, like in Batz-sur-mer in the previous post...


and then just good looking little houses...

OK, off to Guérande now.
