We first started coming to France in 1989. As we lived in the South East of England it was a very easy trip for us... We did not need to travel by air, we just had to drive onto a ferry and off at the other end and we were in another country.
For us it was in the beginning of our 40's that we first came out here. We fell hook line and sinker in love with the place. We came with our friends George and Mary, George worked with my husband and like us. they had never holidayed here before, maybe a voyage to Calais for some cheap wine but only a day trip but that was all.
We had booked to stay in apartment in Carnac, South Brittany and our voyage here was an over-night one on the Duchesse Anne, an ancient ferry run by by Brittany Ferries. We travelled south from the most delightful port of St Malo through unknown territory. We arrived late in Carnac, found our apartments, booked in and then looked for a place to eat.
We found a delightful bistro and with our 'school' french ordered our first proper french meal... Wonderful.
J. and I thought then that we would love to live the rest of our lives in France. To us it seemed a home from home so we started making plans.......
