In 2008, it was recommended by people we chatted with in a restaurant that we visit the small town of Pont-Aven. It turned out to be excellent advice. We walked through the town for some distance long the river Aven, and, before returning to our car, stopped for some refreshing beer at a pub with sidewalk tables. The most outstanding feature of the town, apart from the river and the mill, were the beautiful flowers that seemed to be everywhere. Paul Gauguin, the famous post-impressionist, painted Pont Aven while he lived here in 1888.Friday, September 18, 2009
