Market Days in Brittany

Looking through the logfiles on my web server, I realised that lots of people were coming across BretonDiary as a result of searching for the phrase.. “Market Days Brittany”.

Thus, the Girlie and I decided to create a site to specifically detail Market Days in Brittany in more detail.

As well as giving you the details of the Markets Days, we have also created downloadable guides that you can print off and take around with you.

I hope that the new site is of some use to you, whether you live over here or just visit for holidays. I’ve certainly discovered a few markets that I didn’t know about; ones that I want ot visit soon (or as soon as it stops raining – possibly Easter, next year!)

Please take a look at www.MarketDaysinBrittany.com

French Public Holidays

The Girlie and I decided to create a site to detail French Public Holidays/Bank Holidays.

We realised that there was a need as many people seemed to be getting confused about the dates and meanings of French national and public holidays.

I suppose that I should be ashamed that in my first year living in France, I went into work twice, not knowing that there would be no work because of a bank holiday.

As well as giving you the dates of the holidays, we have tried to explain the meanings and reasons for some of the Public Holidays in France. You are welcome to download PDF versions of any of these guides to print off for your personal use.

Why not take a look at www.FrenchPublicHolidays.com

A Visit to Loheac Car Museum

The Girlie went to England last week; to stay with my sister, see her daughter (and her parents), go shopping, do more shopping, drink tea and natter about the shopping and….. all that other Girlie stuff.

Joshy and I were left at home to be Bachelors Alone.

So, as well as pigging out on microwave burgers, we decided to visit the car museum at Loheac – it’s a man thing!

As well as cars, there are a few boats and motorbikes – and a few things that could be best described as an amalgam of all three!
