Hi Sue I have never been to Lamballe, but know St Malo quite well and it's lovely there, isn't it. Lamballe must be connected to the family of the Princess de Lamballe, friend of Marie Antoinette who was murdered and had all her bits cut off at the beginning of the Revolution. You just keep that dream in front of you and you will get there one day. Have you ever been to La Rochelle? That's my favourite part of France (apart from Paris, of course) Marj > Near to Lamballe WSW of St Malo. Fitted the bill perfectly.

Hi Marj no we've never been to La Rochelle but it's on my list of places to see. The trouble with driving from up north to down south & then on the other side of the channel is anathemia to my beloved (driving for a living & all that) & once he's arrived wherever that's it for a week at least! Funny but I'm the one who spent a couple of years driving in Europe whereas he'd never left these shores 'til he met me (apart from army service in N Ireland) but he never encourages me when we get there! I've spent time near Lyon & in the Loire Valley which I loved & want to go back to. Paris I've only seen around midnight whilst risking life & limb in a taxi between 2 rail stations & never again! We were lucky if the driver had 1 hand on the wheel! Sue S > Have you ever been to La Rochelle?
