<p>Einer der Prämien über mit Freunden zu uns kommen in Loire Atlantique sehen, ist unter dem Vorwand, an Orte, die wir lieben zu überdenken. Vor ein paar Wochen hatten wir eine solche Gelegenheit und sicher gemacht das Beste daraus. <span id="more-235"></span></p>
<p>Wir begannen den Ball ins Rollen mit einem Ausflug in die wunderschöne Ton-und Lichtshow auf jedes Jahr im August setzen auf Martigné-Ferchaud sehen.<a href="http://www.etincelles-aquatiques.org" target="_blank">Sparks Marine</a> ist eine wirklich spektakuläre Show auf über setzen 3 Übernachtungen von der lokalen Bevölkerung locker über die vielen Mythen und Legenden Breton Basis, Feen und Kobolde und durch die Nähe von La Roche aux Fées inspiriert (Die Fee rock). Der Veranstaltungsort befindet sich in einem natürlichen Amphitheater umgeben See, Tickets können bei der Ankunft oder im Voraus und die Sitzgelegenheiten auf Holzbänken eine gute Versorgung von Kissen ist ein Muss gekauft werden. Auch der Ankunft ein paar Stunden vor der Show eine gute Plätze zu bekommen ist nicht langweilig, denn die ,Kuchen, Risse, Kaffee-und Vertriebsmitarbeiter arbeiten ihren Weg durch die Reihen der Menschen mit Chips, sausages and other cold drinks available from stalls nearby.</p>
<p>Die Show beginnt bei Sonnenuntergang und dauert 1 Stunden 30 mins, so lohnt es sich zu bringen warme Kleidung oder eine Decke wie die Nacht kühl werden kann. Jedes Jahr etwas Neues hinzugefügt wird, um diese eine Veranstaltung im Wert von dort zurückkehren. Die Besetzung reicht im Alter von 6 nach oben und Zahlen rund um 260 mit 900 local volunteers helping out behind the scenes.   With wonderful music, special effects and spectacular fireworks the show is a magical experience for all ages.</p>
<p>Unser nächster Ausflug selbst nachsichtig war, Vannes, einer der schönsten Städte, die wir haben, und als klarer Favorit gewesen. Der Markt hat es am Mittwoch Morgen ist riesig und alles, was Sie sich vorstellen, ein Französisch-Markt sollte; pulsierenden, beschäftigt, interessant, preisgünstig und mit einer Vielzahl von Waren zum Verkauf. Die Hauptstraße ist für den Verkehr gesperrt und enthält Kleidung, Taschen &amp; Körbe, Blumen, und andere nicht verderbliche Waren, während Fleisch, Fisch und Gemüse haben ihre eigenen Sporen von der Hauptstraße. Es gibt auch einen Indoor-Bereich Wurstwaren und Schalentiere gewidmet. Wir verbrachten eine glückliche 2 hours wondering around absorbing the atmosphere until our rumbling tums directed us towards the restaurants.</p>
<p>In Vannes sind Sie wirklich die Qual der Wahl, wenn es irgendwo zu finden, zu essen, kommt, aber wir einigten uns auf ein Restaurant mit Blick auf den frisch renovierten Kai und hatte einen schönen Mittagessen moules Fritten. Das Gebiet rund um den Kai hat gerade erst abgeschlossen, Es ist jetzt eine breite gepflasterte Gehweg mit einer engagierten Freigelände und es gab eine Töpferei zu vermarkten, während wir dort waren. Die anderen neuen Anlage gibt es eine riesige, sehr preisgünstig, underground car park.</p>
<p>At 2pm, sobald die Straßen waren geräumt Standinhaber, der<a href="http://www.petittrain-vannes.com" target="_blank">Little Train</a> mit uns verrechnet an Bord (Wir sind Kinder am Herzen), a lovely experience for all ages with commentary in English as well as French.  How the driver manoeuvres the train through the tiny cobbled street, nooks and crannies is amazing and must take some practice.</p>
<p>The other lovely thing about Vannes is the Golf du Morbihan, mit<a href="http://www.billets-bateaux.fr" target="_blank">Bootsfahrten </a>around it and to the islands it’s a great way to spend the afternoon, although if you want a tour of the golf,  it’s best get to the docks just after lunch as there isn’t another boat scheduled until 5pm after that.   By the time we got there, we had to settle for a short ride to the nearest island – Ile d’Arz on what is really a water bus but it was a lovely way to end a super day out.</p>
<p>Next on our schedule was the annual Wild West festival in Bain-de-Bretagne held over 3 days in August, <a href="http://www.west-country.com" target="_blank">West Country</a> has entertainment for all the family.   A large market selling all things western from hats &amp; boots to full Indian regalia, a rodeo, Indian village with very authentic looking (Französisch) Indians, line dancing for all abilities, and new for this year were a bird of prey show, log felling and chainsaw sculpture and hot air ballooning.   There are also concerts held in the evenings into the early hours.   We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves although the weather was just a bit too hot for comfort while we sat watching the Rodeo.   We didn’t know that the show was in 2 parts and when the intermission was announced we decided to start for home and it wasn’t until I heard the show re-commmence in the distance that we realised it wasn’t over but by that time we were too hot and tired to trudge back.   Still we did see some great horsemanship, rounding up skills, quite annoyed bulls trying to ditch their riders and bucking broncos.   We were very impressed with the dedication of those taking part in making the whole thing as authentic as is possible in the wilds of France rather than the West, the costumes, tipees, skills and atmosphere were brilliant.   The Indians even sporting mohawks on their heads which must be quite difficult to live with when out of costume in every day French life.</p>
<p>Our final afternoon out was a new experience for all of us, we drove down to the dam and lock at Arzal on the Villaine and took the boat trip to Roche Bernard.  A 90 minute round trip with a 20 min stop (just long enough to buy ice creams), it was very enjoyable but as the boat now only operates in the afternoons, we felt it was a shame that the opportunity to explore Roche Bernard was no longer possible.  We are often puzzled by what we perceive as the French distain for commercial opportunity,  as in this case – if the boat ran regularly in the mornings as well,  the businesses of Roche Bernard would surely benefit from extra tourism.  Lovely lakeside and river locations with no boating facilities,  gardens open to the public with no refreshments, even my favourite – the Nantes elephant which only does 6 circuits a day finishing at 5.30 pm at the height of summer when it’s light to 11pm.  Surely he doesn’t belong to a union?   Want to experience these for yourself, then book a great holiday in one of our lovely <a href="http://www.loireatlantique.co.uk/properties" target="_self">gites</a>.</p>
