If you would like to wish someone a "Happy Valentine's Day" in French, simply say  "Bonne Saint-Valentin".

La Chandeleur 

9/2/2016

Happy Pancake Day Everyone.

La Chandeleur is the Catholic tradition in France (equivalent to Pancake Day). It is celebrated traditionally on the 2nd February.


A great day for my children, as they are allowed to eat as many pancakes as they wish for tea and entertain us with some extravagant displays of flipping and catching the pancakes in the pan !
​
It is even more special for my family as we are from Brittany where "les crêpes" (pancakes) are the regional dish and are served all day long in "Crêperies" (pancake restaurants) to the delight of everyone.

Paimpol - twinned with Romsey

6/2/2016

 
Picture
Local residents will probably be aware that the town of Romsey is twinned with Paimpol in France. Paimpol is coincidentally very close to where I spent my childhood, in the small coastal village of Lézardrieux in Brittany, just a few kilometres away.
Picture
Paimpol is a small fishing port situated on the north coast of Brittany (Côtes d'Armor) situated approximately midway between Roscoff and St Malo. It is a very pretty town with cobble stone streets lined with shops, cafés,  restaurants and bars leading to the quay area where you can relax with a coffee taking in the sights and sounds of the lively port.
Picture
If arriving in St-Malo by ferry and heading west it is well worth the detour to explore this part of the Brittany coastline.
​
There are good ferry links to this part of Brittany from Portsmouth to St-Malo or Plymouth to Roscoff via Brittany Ferries (www.brittanyferries.com)
