Taking advantage of Armand's vacation time in August and my last week of freedom before school starts, we were able to take a trip to the lovely, small town of Sarzeau, located on the Northwest coast of France. Armand's grandmother, Mamou, has a charming apartment right on the water and allowed us to stay there for the week. We were able to cook our own meals and take morning walks along the beach. There was even a pétanque court right outside and yes there were many games played.
The best part about Sarzeau, and the whole region really, is that it is very bike friendly! They have so many bike paths to take you all around the area. We were able to rent bikes for two days at a low cost and really enjoyed biking through the woodland paths. In fact one of my favorite parts of the trip was when we took the bikes on a 24 mile ride (12 miles there and back) to the Plage de Port Navalo. I'm not a usual biker, so for me the ride was quite long and by the time we got there my butt was so sore... But upon looking at the beautiful beach I forgot about the throbbing in my butt and was just so happy. The Port Navalo is the region's gulf so the water was just a stunning turquoise, I felt like I was living my best Mamma Mia life! We ate our packed picnic on the beach and cheersed some beers to a great worthwhile ride.

Overall, Sarzeau is a quiet town and perfect for a week away from the hustle and bustle of Paris. Looking forward to another trip to this blissful place and hopefully I will get in better bike ride shape for next time! xx
