Old cannon guarding the modern yachts

The pleasant little town of La Roche-Bernard now appears to be a popular place for boating - in this photo and that of the bridge, many yachts may be seen moored in the river.

But back some hundreds of years ago, it seems there was a risk from raiding English ships sailing up the river. The sign on this old cannon says it was placed there when Richelieu was Prime Minister for Louis XIII in the 1600s.

La Roche-Bernard

This is a back street of the town, but both the town and the area justify a good wander around.

 Heading from Vannes toward Nantes, down the N165-E60, you cross the Vilaine River. As you do, you will find yourself on a very impressive suspension bridge, which clearly replaces an older bridge,...
