Today we are in the land of legends and we go to visit the forest Broceliande!
Try to imagine the wind blowing in the shadows of the woods and water of a lake slightly rippled dark air and illuminated by the sun that filters through the foliage.
The atmosphere is quiet and you only hear the birds chirping.
A trickle of water flowing between the moss and small squirrels roam among the trees.
Here, you're in the "Valley of No Return" and soon the fairies will appear.
Before considering crowds take breath and take a step back.
In the morning we leave from and arrive at Broceliande Rennes, the forest that's in the area Paimpont. We park near the tourist office and ask for information about the plant pathways request by mail weeks before.
Already just the tourist office gives you an idea of \u200b\u200bwhere we are:)
The sun is very hot, it's almost noon, and thanks to the explanation of a very nice girl, decide where to go.
This is a series of about 4 km of trails that wind through the forest each and lead to "special places" of the legends associated with Merlin and Vivian.
Remember that you walk in the woods and need some comfortable shoes and camera.
On a day you can not do everything and so we choose to address only two paths, connected by a stretch longer passable by car.
Needless to say, that without a bit 'of legend and fantasy in mind in the heart, these places are just long walks.
But this is not our problem (remember the name of the blog you read?).
fantasy to sell and I drag the family into the "Valley of No Return" in search of the 'Golden Tree "and the" Mirror of the fairies. "
Walking in silence I see the profile of resting Merlino,
I scan the forest to see the famous Tree which is hidden among the others and it really is all gold!
Then I approach the dark water of the Mirror ...
and within minutes of rest I am satisfied.
you fly on the water blue and magenta, bright colors. It 'a spell:)
We are lucky, you received us with kindness, and we leave the valley without getting bogged down at all:)
With a smile we go direct to the magic fountain Barenton, the water boils and should not be paid on the throne of Merlin, lest a storm!
The route is marked
and in a short we arrive at the source.
The water is very cold. Here, too, and we expect
paid off: the water boils for a few seconds, sparking cries of joy in us.
It 'just a magical day and this once again feel my elven in nature with the quiet peace of a place that has probably always been inside of me.
We are happy for this break in the woods and slowly back to the car with his mind somewhere between dream and reality.
A squirrel gliding from a tree and I looked a shadow on the path created by the leaves and the sun ... maybe a wanderer of the woods or a spirit of the wind? who knows ...
I only know that the magic of these places will not let us for a long time:) I have deliberately omitted
photos, just for curiosity, but I swear it's all true.
You have to go there to see it for yourself.
In the afternoon we return to the hotel, tired and looking for a nice shower.
the next morning it's off to the last stop: the town of Carnac.
Here the wind is full of magic, the old one that goes back centuries and plunging into the crystalline sea of \u200b\u200bthe Atlantic.
In the afternoon we arrive and visit the town.
Carnac is very characteristic, a seaside town whose streets have names unrealistic if taken out of context in which they occur.
Strolling a stretch of "Way of the Druid" to arrive at the beach while small stone houses and stunning blue and white sprouting from minor "Way of the Elves" or Way of the Fairies. "
many colorful shops line the streets and boutiques selling clothes Galadriel for small girls. It 's a lovely place.
Let's take a walk on the ocean shore, including oyster shells that light up the sand pearl reflections.
people sunbathing reassured by a strong Atlantic wind. It would take a cap the head, take her. The water is very cold and, to swim, you need the suit.
My father is brave diving the same, only with the costume! You can not get this far and not "try "This water)
look a bit 'surfers and then go back to the hotel.
I get my camera, now let's see the megaliths!
It' s a great time to visit the flat, the sun is going down a bit, the temperature is high and the light is perfect for photos.
The only drawback is that it is closed at this hour access to the megaliths, you see them only from the path.
Never mind, I can think and dream well here.
It 's always fascinating to think about times past and the old ages of Earth and ancient peoples. The silence of the plain between the stones and the wind tickle the imagination and, like everyone, we ask the reason of such precision in the arrangement of rocks.
We have so many theories, some even funny and that make us laugh despite our journey has now come to an end.
Tomorrow morning we leave for home. Nearly 1200 km in two days that follow with very brief pauses to catch his breath and a night to break up the road to Montlucon.
We are pleased and happy.
The weather was beautiful, no problems of any kind, lots of pictures and a thousand memories. Some souvenirs
"materials" to dampen our future melancholy and new plans future trips.
car joke and repeating phrases in French learners, many cows scattered in the fields change color once again and we move away from the woods of Brittany.
After so many years we have traveled all three together as when I was a child but with a difference: our age have much less difference, while their parents and I always daughter)
We are on the way home and I do not speak anymore. I'm back where I live but my heart has found the places where it is and knows he will always be there.
I wish to you to take a trip like this, with people you love, who loves you and can hear your heart breathe again.
good trip:)
