Relais des villages

Yesterday was the annual village relay race and evening knees-up. There is a group of 12 villages, - Plesder, Evran, St Judoce, ... - , the communité de communes, which group together to provide teams to run a relay race from village to village (commune to commune). Each village takes in in turn to host the event and this year was the turn of Les Champs Geraux.

We went along to watch the runners finish, although I can't remember who won; but I'm not sure it's that important, and to see Elizabeth dance as part of a display by the Breton Dance team. Afterwards there is the mandatory evening meal and party that always is great fun and goes on until the early hours.

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.
