Charmaine is visiting at the moment so we have been getting out more than usual. Unfortunately French strikes and weather scuppered the owner's plans to visit and have the oaks pollarded so their trip fell through.

Luckily, however, the flights into Nantes were still running with no problems so we drove through to pick Charmaine up. We had done our research beforehand so we knew there was a parking lot that didn't have height restriction and we managed to squeeze Bokkie and and take the short walk to the terminal.
The weather is quite grim at the moment, and we are spending a lot of time curled up in from of the fire with the cats and some books. We managed to get out as well and took an evening trip to Rochefort yesterday.
This town puts on an amazing Christmas light display and attracts visitors from far and wide. We set off to our planned parking spot only to find that the river was overflowing its banks preventing us from reaching the bridge to the footpath. We drove into the village to see if there was another option but were overwhelmed by the number of visitors and returned to the original spot and walked up the road.

It really was a lovely atmosphere and even an unexpected shower didn't dampen the spirits. Well worth the visit, many thanks to B&T for telling us about it.
Tomorrow we will try to visit the market at nearby La Roche-Bernard, the weather forecast looks a bit iffy so we'll have to take brollys and hope for the best.
