[Stones] Gavrinis/Channel Isles

[Wolf Thandoy]

Hi Rowan,

I love the breton land and sites (and beer and food) -  after my  
first visit two years ago, I'm in the Morbihan now again having  
already seeing much more of Finistere on this trip (and spending more  
on maps!).

Most well known sites are more accessible - better posted, for  
starters - and most more obscure sites pose no special difficulty.

Pick up a few dozen words of French if you can (or breton), but don't  
worry - much of the countryside should look very familiar, and there  
are arguably closer ties between the bretons and other gaels than  
there are with the French!


Enjoy

Wolf
