Before you get to Loire Atlantique …
Bien sûr, si vous êtes interdits de voyager à Rennes par un nuage de cendres volcaniques comme je l'étais, la meilleure chose à faire est de tirer le meilleur parti de la situation en visitant un endroit où j'ai toujours voulu voir which in this case was Fougére. Somehow in the past we just drove straight down from St Malo via Rennes home to Guemene, the only places we’d stopped at in the past were Dinard (magnifique) and Comburg which although lovely, the chateau was closed on Saturday and wouldn’t you know it that was the day we went.
So to Fougére we drove and it was really glorious, but – are we jinxed or something? This was Monday and guess what? The castle was closed on Mondays! Even so, the town was really glorious and we wondered around the ancient streets and allyways blissfully happy to be there. It’s a strange place though as most towns have their defences on a hillside to see any danger from a distance – not Fougére, its castle is in a valley with the town grown around it.
We explored the town and highly recommend a visit – probably better on a Tuesday or any other day of the week but Monday so the next time you dock at St Malo or even Cherbourg – consider it a worthwhile place to have a stop at.
