On our way out of the Crozon peninsular we decided to cross the river L’Aulne where we anchored just North of the old suspension bridge….
Imagine our surprise to find this stunning new bridge ahead of us instead!!
We stopped at the observation points and discovered via these info boards that it was completed in 2011 as a replacement for the old one (seen clearly in front)….
A view from the East side showing the unique curve…. (in 2006 we anchored in the area that can be seen just under the bridge on the right hand side)
Then, just a kilometre or so further along the road towards Brest we popped in to this honey farm (and museum). All the honey is cold extracted and comes from either 600 hives in the local area or 250 hives from Perigueux further to the South. They produce all sorts of specific honey depending on the flower harvest at the time (e.g., chestnut, lime, pine,ivy) ….
Of course we sampled a few and brought some home with us (did I ever mention I love Honey? Grahame), and also a bottle of Hydromel (Chouchen in Breton) which is a digestif drink made from honey and water, fermented to reach 13.5% vol (it’s sublime) and is drank ice cold…….yum yum
