| New Life in France and... Brittany! |
|
|
I'm not sure who's been following who - but this site covers almost all of the ground that we've visited with a few new bits. Uploading new properties often prevents me from covering aspects like this. Well done to Leslie Edwards whose 'baby' this new site is! brittanyfrance56 |

 There can only be very few people who have moved to Brittany or Normandy who have not found enlightenment, encouragement as well as laughter by the spadeful from the tales of George East. He and Donella are best known for their love of France...and now they have their own website to carry on spreading the word...

| Car Hire... |
|
|
This is a brilliant service - whoever you are...wherever you are going! Check with the Car Hire Warehouse before you go anywhere by air...to somewhere you'll need a car. They do the booking for you. Mostly around the world...but for you...right here in Brittany and Normandy. They can arrange your car-hire pick-up from Dinard Airport the docks etc., One click of the mouse will take you there!
Web: click to book car rental from DINARD Airport
Or...in case of difficulty - this next one...I just put "Car Hire, St. Malo" into Google and this one came up...It looks very straightforward. There are car hire desks at St. Malo Docks - but I guess it's best to make a reservation especially in the summer.

| Dinard Airport in Brittany |
|
|
An unofficial guide to the Dinard Airport! (I haven't seen an official one)...so, in absence this will do nicely. The Dinard Airport (officially known as the Dinard - Pleurtuit - Saint-Malo Airport or in French Aéroport de Dinard Pleurtuit Saint-Malo) is 3 miles from Dinard, 4 miles Saint Malo and 38 miles (45 minutes) from Rennes. http://www.dinardairport.net/ |
| Something larger than a car...Plus a driver? This is great! A flexible kind of moving experience |
This is a great 'door- to door' removal service where you're in charge - but someone else does the driving! I'd use it myself but my stuff is already out there!
|
I came across this quite by accident and it looks so useful I thought I'd pass it on...With a range of vans up to a 7.5 tonne box truck.... Everything's covered for the average move. Give them a try when everything else is done and you're about to tackle that move to your house in Brittany. If the testimonials on their site are anything to go on - it's a fine service. They have a great on-line quote service! Check their site first...

La Mulette - Restaurant
Montcontour
|
There's a lot said about food in France. Obviously...It's sometimes said that 'proper' restaurants can't be as reasonable price-wise as the 'eat as much as you like' Routiers...And there was a time when I would have agreed with that. But that was before we happened upon La Mulette in Montcontour (on the hill as you travel through). We used to drive past after just a an hour in the car having rolled off the boat at 8am - so, not the best time to be thinking about lunch. When we did happen by at 12.30 one day... the next step was obvious and the outcome was definitely worth waiting for. more... We'll be back! Reservations 0296 73 50 37
