This is a neolythic site near the town of Dol de Bretagne. It is one of the tallest Menhirs in Brittany.

One of my favourite cities in the region is Dol de Bretagne. It is a very old town with a beautiful city center with houses that date back to the 16th century.

Dol de Bretagne is reputated to be the hometown of the scottish royal house of Stuart. The family arrived in Britain with the army of William the Conqueror.

There are many little cafés and restaurants on the main street and next to the cathedral. My favourite café is the Bar PMU on the “Place de La Poste”. As you can see on the picture, they serve Lavazza .
The city is crowned by its cathedral which is dedicated to Saint Samson, one of the seven founding Saints of Brittany. He was born in Wales and died in Dol de Bretagne.

If you are in Dol de Bretagne you should visit the Cathedraloscope, a museum right next to the cathedral that shows the visitor how cathedrals were build. Very interesting!

The pictures on the beach are taken in Vivier sur Mer at the “Baie de Mont Saint Michel”. We were close to full moon so the tide was very low as you can see. The area is famous for its oysters and mussels.
