11th July – Friday – Lorient, Port Louis to Kerneval

Bought bread at the Boulangerie at Port Louis (just above the marina).

Just a short trip across the river to Kerneval from Port Louis.  Kerneval is the only place in Lorient where Diesel is available. 

We did not really give Kerneval a fair chance on our last visit so went for a walk along the seaside to see if we could find the town.  A pleasant seaside town emerged, more tailored to the older visitor, but with enough to make it worth a walk.  Two small supermarkets meant we did not have to go and trek to the large one, as last time.

We have seen many small art ‘Expositions’ on this trip.  They are held in old churches and village halls and are varied in their quality.  This one displayed several local artists work.  The two of note were firstly a very industrial artist, who depicted Fred Dinah type machinery, in great detail.  The second was a man who made small items from Cow bones.  It looked a bit like ivory, but was quite white and much heavier than anticipated.  I always wonder with these people how they make a living.

  1. So when you get back the local bovine will be wary of some demented handy crafter trying to half inch a bone or two!!
