The Blavet River


This picture is of the Blavet River which can be seen from the window of what will be our kitchen at the Hammeau. Not long to go now. Eeek! can you see the river in the middle of the picture? It is a wonderful view, easier seen from the elevated position of the Hammeau in winter with the leaves off the trees.
The Blavet runs from central Brittany down to the coastal port and town of Lorient on the Atlantic coast. I think my husband has visions of partaking of the salmon fishing here. We are told that it is good. I cannot remember the other fish that is common to catch here. Time off from renovations for good behaviour may well see him getting his wish. I can see the appeal of fishing but would prefer to have a bash at the kayaking or riding my bike along the tow path then stopping at the restaurant at Pont Augan for a coffee, cider, etc..
