Oh, I long to be back there, on that secluded beach, on that glorious autumn afternoon. 
A very moving, tender polychrome figure, one of many such at the Museum of Breton Culture in Quimper. This is a world-class museum on an intimate scale. You should go if ever you have the chance!
The doors of my rented house in the Breton countryside were almost electric in their blueness.
There was a doll museum in Josselin, containing the collection of a member of the Rohan family, who've owned the adjacent chateau since time began. Or thereabouts. 
Early in my stay, Casey and I had lunch in Lochmariaquer, before taking a boat ride among the nearby islands. Here were some neighbors at the cafe. 
Be sure to check out Casey's sketches of Brittany---she posted more yesterday.
So, c'est tout, les amis. I have no more of Brittany to share. Hasn't it been fun, though? I hope someday to return to that surprising, enchanting place.

The beautiful blue of the doors reminds me of the doors and shutters in French North Africa. They are always cerulean blue, with almost no exceptions. You captured the spirit of Brittany very well. It makes me want to go!

Yes, the blue doors reminded me of Morrocco. You paint such an evocative picture - almost as good a vacance en Bretagne. Almost!

Our trip already convinced me that I love Brittany, and this series of posts has confirmed it. Michel is forever grateful to you......
