It’s so cute. I can’t tell which one I smell right now, but it smells so good. I know. It must be an event or something tonight cuz it’s really popping off tonight.
Our Vannes to-do list is officially shrinking! Today was a perfect blend of productivity and pleasure. We spent the afternoon wandering through the beautiful Jardin des Remparts (Ramparts Garden), where we got this incredible view of the medieval fortifications and the majestic buildings they protect. The photo and video show just how stunning the tiered gardens are against the historic stone walls!
For lunch, we indulged in true Breton style with galettes de blé noir, and I went for the savory Artichoke Galette (a Complète Artichaut)—it was absolutely amazing and the perfect local fuel for our explorations. Vannes really is a city of art, history, and incredible food. Time to enjoy the rest of our time in beautiful Brittany!
