But it was all worth it for the lovely town of Brest - it's on the west coast and is a bit of a harbour town with lots of ships docking and leaving. We visited the Oceanopolis, went to the check-in point for the Paris-Brest-Paris ride to cheer on the riders, and walked and walked and walked, surprisingly! Was very nice and the drive back to Versailles was much better because we knew what to expect with the pesky tolls!
So now we're in Nante spending a few days in the glorious sun - it's apparently 30 degrees out, at last - before heading out to Pouzauges where we've rented a house in the countryside to do whatever it is they do in the countryside (please let them have the internet there!) :p
Oh and I am LOVING French TV - can't understand a word they're saying but I love it. They have a show called 'Secret Story' which I'm guessing is a bit like Big Brother except everyone has a secret about themselves that the other contestants have to figure out...awesome! The culture and people here are great too. In all seriousness we've still not met any arrogant French people, we're still not convinced they exist! It's a myth!
PS - thanks to everyone who's commented, emailed, and texted us, we love hearing from you all!
