Saint Rolande

Still sanding and painting windows and doors. Three more windows finished, just another 2 to go. Hopefully we should be finished by the end of the week if the weather holds out.

Last French lesson in Dinan today until October. Dinan is noticeably busier now the holiday season is getting into gear. Dinan doesn't close down like some town in the winter, but it definitely picks up in the summer. There are fetes and activities all the time in the surrounding areas. This year is the Fête des Remparts (24, 25 July 2004) in Dinan. Every two years they hold a medieval festival within the castle and on the walls of the town. Most of the townspeople dress up in costume and the jousting tournament is one of the highlights.

Did I mention mowing :-)

Added the story What is a Gite ? for reference.

These are our experiences of running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. This is our fourth season (2006) and we are looking forward to the summer. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, schooling etc. Stay tuned.
