La
Roche Bernard is a small harbour town on the
River La Vilaine, with a popular marina and Michelin starred restaurants. Its origins date back to the 9th Century with stories of Vikings but today it is a popular tourist destination.
Designated a "Petites cités de caractère" it has a historic centre but here we are walking down to the harbour.
The boat that takes trips up and down the
river in Summer was about to leave but my attention was taken with
the numerous photos in the water by the yachts.
which were blown up postcards of the building of the bridge across the Vilaine. I collect old postcards so a lot of camera clicking went on at this point, this one is my favourite, all the town's population in those past times seems to be gathered on one side of the river. I guess the reason these photos were here was that there was a celebration of photography and an exhibition in La
Roche Bernard and
large pictures were posted throughout the town. No time to be
recumbent here, lots to see and do, not to mention canoes
to be hired and paddled.
