Rochefort-en-Terre

The is one of the most beautiful historic towns in Brittany. My roommate, Elise, works here in a primary school. I think it's about 20 minutes away by car. It is absolutely wonderful.





Vannes

This is the closest city to Questembert (12 min by train, at least 30 min by car). It is quite small, but very charming. I go here once a week for a French lesson, so there may be more pictures to come.








 This is the art museum in Vannes, it's pretty small,
but pretty cool too because it's in a medieval building!
There was a special exhibit of Le Scouezec (above and right).

Arrival/House

When I got off the train in Rennes, I misread the time on a clock and thought I was going to miss my train so I ran with all of my stuff as fast as I could to get on the train... turns out I hopped an earlier train going in the same direction, so when I got off in Redon I had a nice hour+ wait before the next train.

Here is the view out of my back door.

Here are a couple pictures of  the view of my front door, the white one with windows. You can also see my bedroom window in the first picture (all the way at the top), and Les Halles de Questembert on the left in the second picture. This is a pedestrian only street, and the red chairs are at the Bistrot Des Halles, which is a nice little bar/brasserie, certainly the coolest bar in town. During the market on Wednesday evening it is packed.
