August
\n9 – 26
\n2017<\/div>\n

In August last year my mom and I embarked on a lengthy roadtrip across the Brittany\/Bretagne region of France. It was an amazing trip and we experienced so many wonderful ‘stars aligning’ moments and co-incidences while also seeing so many beautiful places and meeting loads of lovely people. Why Brittany? My mom spent a year there 40 years ago and always wanted to return. So we did. Over 18 days we drove just over 1700km covering Rennes<\/a>, Cl\u00e9den-Cap-Sizun<\/a>, Paimpol<\/a>, Carnac<\/a> and loads of places in between.<\/p>\n

\"Locronan\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Going during the height of the French summer holidays meant there were a lot of other people<\/a> (tourists) around, and a lot of camper vans on the roads (which was a hectic additional stress, as if driving on the other side of the road and negotiating infinite traffic circles wasn’t harrowing enough<\/a>) and it meant heat which wasn’t great, however it also meant festivals<\/a>, parades<\/a> and general celebratory activities<\/a> all over the place which was amazing.<\/p>\n

\"Phare<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Josselin\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I’d planned this trip for my mom, I snuck in a few activities for myself too – the highlight of which was seeing one of my all-time favourite bands<\/a> giving an anniversary performance of one of my all-time favourite albums: watching Interpol and hearing\u00a0Turn on the Bright Lights<\/em> live at Saint-Malo’s La Route du Rock festival<\/a> was a magical experience and definite trip (life!) highlight.<\/p>\n

Belated travel blogging seems to be becoming somewhat of a tradition for me<\/a>; I’ll be using the next few posts to share my photos and memories of this time last year. I’ll also write a bit about the routes we took and the places we stayed. When planning the trip I joked that our budget would allow us to stay in a combination of ”chateau’s and shitholes” but really even the cheapest places we stayed at were great and I’ll happily share and recommend all of them.<\/p>\n

If you travel and you don’t use Booking.com you really should it’s the best! I’m not 100% sure how the referral codes work but try mine if you haven’t used one before for a discount after your trip:\u00a0https:\/\/www.booking.com\/s\/35_6\/rattsi32<\/a><\/p>\n
