In Fougeres on a Saturday starting about 0900 & finishing at about 1300 there is the local market for both general items and fresh food, here will be found farmers selling their produce direct to the public, Artisan bakers with specialist bread of the region, fishmongers who will be only to pleased to describe how to cook their often unusual species of fish, plus many more trades, including a few almost forgotten in UK such as an old fashioned cobbler for example. Just outside Fougeres there is the Forest, which has many walks and cycle routes and also a good-sized lake that is ideal for swimming of all ages, complete with its own sandy beach and a play area for the younger children it is excellent for a day out without travelling too far. Recently the local councils and other bodies have been getting together to change the use of the old disused railways. This has meant taking up the tracks and laying down paths suitable for walkers and cyclists, This program is still continuing but the completed sections are already fantastic for both walkers and cyclists, allowing them to view the area from almost the heart of the countryside. These tracks now stretch for many miles with access points all along so that it is possible to join or leave wherever you wish, the views from these paths are well worth the effort. |
