Isle de Bréhat. 6th Sept 2009

Took a quick day trip to the Isle de Bréhat.Tide was well in when we arrived, on a sweltering hot day in September, so had a long walk up to the 'town'. There are (virtually) no cars on Bréhat, and hardly any roads - just paths that wind around, between houses and gardens.

There is a tide mill which is 370 years old on the island. It used to be used to grind grain, by the power of the water collected in its tidal basin. There is a huge tide range on the north coast of Brittany, so it made sense to use it.

The gardens on the island were really lovely, with some rather impressive trees...
