TREDION - 26-SEP


 


Today is our last ride in Tredion before moving on to Guingamp and the start of our bike tour with Kathy and Roy. This ride is short (23 miles) and easy since we have a long pack for tomorrow's transfer day. This is because we need to separate the stuff we need transported from hotel to hotel from all the other stuff we don't need with us. Hope we get this right. The flotsam and jetsam will be stored in the car parked outside the hotel in Guingamp. 

Just a footnote: We did stop for a baguette on our way out of town. Just in case we got a "we need gluten" attack. 



Rustic gates to house heading out of town. Kim took this because I never noticed them, like most things along the road. Just following the route and keeping my bike on the road is challenging enough. 

The mysterious case of the curious cow. Can't imagine what they are thinking when watching cyclists go by? Maybe just jealous. 

This little "coffee clutch" of cogitating cows could care less.

More than half way through the ride we stopped in Elven for our precisely timed coffee stop. So well planned, we did not have to carry our pastries since we knew this boulangerie would be open and next to a Tabac for our coffee. Kim could not resist the chocolate dipped croissant and an equally delightful chocolate twist. Everything is better when dipped in chocolate, especially chocolate. 

Across from our Tabac is this Eglise (church). Although in the gothic style it has a modern clock with Roman numerals. At least the time was correct. 

We have passed this place three times while in Tredion. It has so captivated us that we are considering putting in an offer. This is definitely a "Project" with so much potential. Aside from the collapsed roof and missing windows its sturdy walls are solid as stone. Well they are stone. Stone lasts forever or long enough.  

Home stretch on a great stay here in Tredion. Not sure we will come this way again but glad we made the stop.
