Brittany - Market in Moelan sur Mer, Langostinos for lunch, Citadelle de Port-Louis (Morbihan), Port Louis night market, creperie, Bastille day fireworks

Big big big day. Erwan took us this morning to the market in Moelan sur Mer, assuring us that it was a "small" market.  Either something got lost in translation or he was kidding as the market was huge, taking up several streets of the town (really, most of the downtown).  There was something for everyone, from beads and crafts for the kids to clothing and shoes to all kinds of different foods.  Erwan purchased what I suspect was several kilos worth of Langostinos, which are tasty little shellfish very like a small lobster or large crayfish.  They were delicious! I'm still trying to figure out how to say "NOM" in French. Philemon the cat disguising himself as a potted plant. Philemon in repose, in pot.  A very sweet little cat. After our sumptuous feast at home we headed to the Citadel in Port Louis.  The Citadel was constructed in the bay during the reign of Louis XIV (the Sun King) and was occupied by the Nazis during WWII. In addition to being a very cool place to poke around (who doesn't love exploring old forts?), there is an excellent museum there of "Tresors d'Ocean" - archaeological artifacts recovered from shipwrecks. This walkway runs along the old wall about a kilometer.  It's roughly 3 feet wide in most places and about 15-18 feet up. There's no rail. We dined at an exquisite creperie in Port Louis and wound our way through the town's night market.  It was a short drive to the coast (around the bay) to find ourselves a prime spot to watch the Bastille Day fireworkds (feur d'artifice) in this charming little town.
