This afternoon we all went to Plage de Pen Guen in Saint Cast Le Guido. It's a great beach for small children because it is all sand and is almost level. We arrived about an hour or so before low tide and it took it a good 5 mins walk from the top of the beach to the sea. But once in the sea you could wade out for a very long way before even going over your waist. Once the tide turned it came back in fairly quickly, but that was part of the fun. At a slow walk you could remain in the sea and get most of the way back to your towels. The sea always seemed to be shallow, and consequently warmer. Hugh got his first taste of surfing (well gentle body boarding) and I couldn't drag him out.
Just to round of the day we visited the Fête du Pain at Plédéliac on the way home. Another small fun 'French country fair'. Obviously the central theme was bread (harvesting, milling, making, cooking) but there was plenty else to see, Charcol production, clog making, honey bees, old tractors and farm machines, oxen, ornamental chickens, etc. etc.
