Monday we toured various sights over Presqu'ile de Crozon (http://maps.google.fr/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=fr&geocode=&q=crozon&sll=48.191726,-4.295654&sspn=0.602383,1.645203&ie=UTF8&ll=48.306034,-4.489288&spn=0.300521,0.822601&z=10&iwloc=addr) which happens to be base of at least one nuclear submarine.
Tuesday we woke up to about 3 cm of snow (the first time it's snowed in 3 years). We had to drive Yoann's brother to school, which involved driving west towards Chateaulin, which got probably half a foot of snow. After the highways were re-opened, we continued to Rieux, to visit a couple pipemakers. We finished the day in Lorient with Ewen and Soizig and some Kronenbourg.
Yesterday, Guy and Marie-Louise spoiled us with a lunch consisting of several bottles of white wine, home-made mayonnaise and about 5 kilos of Langoustines. Then we went to a dairy farm that belongs to a friend of the family.
Today we're planning to go to eat lunch in Kemper with Gus Sicard, and then to do some tourist-like strolling around the town.

Also, there was a reporter from Le Telegramme at practice last Sunday, and here's the article which probably took too much of an "America to the rescue" stance:
