We feel the need to move today but as the temperatures inland are still in the mid 30s we have driven a mere 20 minutes to an Aire outside the small town of Guérande north of Saint-Nazaire.

The centre of the town dates back to medieval times and is completely surrounded by ramparts…

The main entrance is through St-Michel Gate (sorry, couldn’t find a St Rhys Gate) and if you look closely you can just about spot a Welsh flag…..

Inside the walls are many narrow streets with many of the shops selling the produce of the local Salt Marshes……

The church at the centre of the town (St-Aubin) dates back to the 12th century but now features a fascinating art installation representing the many people of the local community who have passed away……..

….there were yet more impressive stained glass windows…

We had to finish the day with some of the local cider which, interestingly enough, was served in a cup not a glass…
