What shall we do. It is pouring outside. I want to put the box on and snuggle up. But not at this angle. We haven't managed the walk down the river yet to the beautiful village of Port Dinan. But thinking about it, an Aire was mentioned there. On our way through the road works a man in a car flagged us down and said the Aire was back the other way. Excellent. We up sticks, find a supermarket and then wiggle our way back to the river and find the Aire. On pretty flat ground and it is free. Public loos minutes away. Sorted.
By this time is is lunchtime and still pouring. The place is very quaint, even in this weather, and we browse the menus posted outside the restaurants lining the river.
Difficult to choose, so we try the smallest that looks really sweet. Chez Bongrain. All is deserted in the street so no problem about a table. Errr, one would have thought. I open the door to find a small room with about 20 tables, and only 2 of them are free. I explain about the two dogs to the rather stressed looking waitress who says No problem, and we sit down. The dogs go under the table and are impeccably behaved. The food is excellent and we had the €11 for 2 courses. Jc had the Plate de Charcuterie and the Ham Hock in Mustard sauce and I had the Brandade de Morue and a crepe.
Back to Wishstream where we all snuggled up in the bed and watched The Red River, a three hour John Wayne Film! Ahhhhh.
Out in the evening for a walk along the other side of the river, and a drink at the very smart hotel there. Horreur, it is a Best Western, but very French.
