Guerande


Guerande is a medieval walled city, it was one of my favorite places to visit when we were living in France. When we visited this time a few of the shops had changed and the summer market was much larger than the winter/spring ones. The church in the heart of the city had also placed a number of sculptures around its exterior which illuminated the history and culture of the area. When visiting Guerande, Ian and I would often visit a particular patisserie for sweets, on this trip we picked up some chocolate souris (mice) made of a ganache with almond slice ears.
