The Gallic village, the Menhir de Saint Uzec, and chocolat crepes


Patrick and I were laughing so hard we could barely turn the crank on this unusual wooden ride.
 Adlai was not at all convinced about the water worthiness of this vessel.
We played all sorts of low tech games and learned about the dolmen and menhirs and history of this celtic area. Patrick braved the super dark and creepy maze inside the funerary replica of a dolmen and managed to find his way out.
We also found the Menhir of Saint Uzec which is 8 meters tall and weighs over 60 tons and is thought to have been there since 2,500 BC. The carvings and Christian engravings were likely added in the 17th century.

 Patrick climbed barefooted to the top of a tall rocky promontory and took these photos.

 Our after dinner treat was wine for us and chocolate crepes for us and the kids. It was a hit!
