Today and tomorrow is the «Un siècle de vapeur» on the Rance canal between Evran and Dinan. We went today and saw two old steam pleasure boats flying British ensigns at the lock in Evran. I overheard that they had come from Lake Windermere in the Lake District, UK. How they got here I've no idea. The exhibition hall was full of steam models of various sizes, some of which were radio controlled. Outside there were some stationary steam engines running machines to make 'sabot' and cut very large planks of wood and a pool for the model boats. Hugh liked the traction engine because it whistled. Every weekend there is something on in the area during the summer. Next week the beer festival at Lehon caught my eye :-)
