Just a few pictures from my trip earlier this month to Cancale, Brittany in northwest France for lunch at Les Maisons de Bricourt.
I finished work on Friday afternoon. Tube to Paddington; HEX to LHR T4; BA to Paris CDG; overnight at the Sheraton CDG (so pleasant to be able to stroll there from CDG arrivals without waiting and waiting and paying through the nose for a LHR Hoppa bus!); and the next morning, Air France Coach to Paris ORY.
The ORY flight to Rennes (RNS) has an AF code but is operated by Brit Air (not to be confused with British Airways!). The ATR42 turboprop was leased from Airlinair.
A trolley service offering a croissant or pastry plus a hot or cold drink during the flight.
On arrival at RNS, we collected our hire car and it was about 45 minutes from there to Cancale at last! We came all the way for this ?!?
It was part of a tasting menu (Images of Saint Malo County) and after lots of small portions (and several hours), we were happy! This was the French menu (which I can only make out the odd words here and there):
Repeat in reverse for the trip back home. This time, it was a slightly larger ATR72 which arrived back in CDG rather than ORY.
(That's me at the back there next to the lady who would relieve passengers of their large hand luggage which would go into the hold but would be handed back immediately after deplaning.)
