This initial overview begins with a rugby poster. Many French folks prefer this sport to soccer and regard fans of the latter as redneck 'boeufs'. Around the time of our arrival, Vannes had apparently lost the rugby championship by a mere single point!

October 23rd: 'Musique et Patrimonie'. He lights candles at Paris' Eglise Saint Ephrem (5e), moments before pianist Adrien Polycarpe dazzled our small paid crowd with his renditions of Chopin, Satie, Debussy and Beetoven. Mrs Z kindly rescued the husband of the American couple seated in front of us by passing along a cough lozenge as he was suffering an ill-timed coughing fit.

Watercraft of all sorts are seen across southern Brittany. Douarnanez has an interesting outdoors museum dedicated to ships and boats, a must for sailors and marine fans.

A rainy Paris by night. We favor one particular co-op restaurant in Buttes-aux-Cailles: *Le Temps de Cerises. In our opinion, it remains one of the most authentic places in Paris to eat genuine home-cooked food while experiencing a non-touristy atmosphere. *not to be confused with a more upscale Marais cafe with the same name.

The rare 'niefler' (aka medlar) found in Quimper's peaceful 'Prieure Medieval Jardin'. Tastes like apple-cinammon after a couple weeks of soaking. Also has a Brit nickname that I cannot print here. More about this unique re-constructed 16C garden later on. *Poster 'Nikki' and husband stayed nearby.
