95km. The day didn't start so well, I did have a giggle at myself though. I couldn't find my way out of St Malo, I thought how the hell will I find my way to the South of France at this rate! Once I was on the right road I was away. Then I ended up on a motorway in error. I stopped and pushed the bike back on the grass verge. From then on I was sorted, I have sussed out the road signs now. It was a dull day and it rained lightly on and off. I was smiling to myself a lot today. The roads were excellent and I was on very quiet country lanes. I kind of made up the route as I went as I kept finding interesting roads. There were acres of fields with corn, wheat and potatoes. Plenty of cattle and horses, all of which got a taste of my terrible French. Well I have to practice! The small villages I passed were adjourned with sweet smelling flowers. The scent was beautiful, so much so that I would slow down to get as much as possible.
I did have to stop quite a few times to check the map. I decided that I would stop at Paimpont for the night at their campsite. I found it easily and was there by 5 pm. I put up my tent and had a long hot shower. Then I sauntered into town to the only open restaurant. The food was "tres superbe ". I'm really pleased with day one.
