On the lookout for Merlin... (photos)

These pictures are from a hike that I took with my friend Megan, her host-sister Anne-Laure and Nou-nou, one of the sweetest dogs out there. Now, these are were taken in November. Only a few months behind schedule.

We packed a picnic and headed off to the Forêt de Paimpont, also known as Merlin's Forest. And to think that this forest, seeped in Arthurian legend, is only 40 minutes away.

We started off at l'Abbaye de Paimpont:

B-e-a-utiful:


About an hour and a half in and no Headless Horseman:


The wind started up and I realized that I should've worn another layer:


The last picture before the batteries died. Here we have Megan, Anne-Laure and Nou-nou:


Since the batteries kicked the bucket on me, I don't have any pictures of Merlin's Tomb, the Fountain of Youth or the Valley of No Return. But, seeing as it such a beautiful afternoon, I'll make the trip back again with some spare Energizers.
