Today was the first day we didn’t have to check out of a hotel, and we took full advantage – we didn’t leave the hotel until about 12:00.
On our way out of Dinan we saw a big market going on in the center of town so decided to stop and have a look. It was pretty cool but we didn’t make any purchases. After that we headed back towards Bazouges to the Parc des Grands Chênes. It is an outdoor adventure park with zip lines, rope bridges, tightropes, etc. There were five adult circuits and one child circuit. Ben, Ty, and I did three of the adult ones, while Sam tried his luck on the kid one, with Amanda’s help. It was good fun, and a bit of a workout.
On the way back to Dinan we stopped to see our second menhir, le Menhir du Champ-Dolent. This is the tallest menhir in Brittany (31 ft). Legend says that this menhir pushed out of the ground to separate two warring brothers locked in a deadly battle. There is also a legend that every time somebody dies the menhir sinks a tiny fraction back into the ground, and that the day it is fully back in the ground will be Judgement Day. Very interesting!!
