En Vacance

I am off to the land of yellow postboxes for a few weeks to twirl a few postcard racks. Here is choice of four letterboxes at the main post office in Ploermel, France. Two on the left, the internal post, large and small, to region 56 of Morbihan in Brittany. Exterieur (outside), which we took to mean the rest of France and Etranger (stranger or foreigner), where we put our postcards home. They arrived, so guess we made the right choice, although we did puzzle for a moment as to whether we were outsiders or strangers.

Weekend Mailbox

Back to France for this week's weekend postbox which is in Malestroit, a town by the Nantes-Brest canal. Behind me is the medieval centre, its church and the Creperie where we had just had lunch. In compensation for not seeing all that you get a postbox surrounded with an abundance of flowers, oh and it is one of the two openings variety, one for mail going to the French department where it is located, Morbihan, and the other for all other directions.

Le Vieux Bourg

Post box at Le Vieux Bourg, near Pleurmel, northern France. In past times before the bridge this village controlled the ford across the river. Now is is just a sleepy little village.

I liked the little holes in the stonework.

 Handy for storing small objects while posting your letters?

La Chapelle Caro Post Box

The French Marie  (the local mayors centre of administration) are always festooned with flowers, this one in La Chapelle Caro, Brittany is quite restrained compared to some but still prettily decorated.  This one has an added benefit for the postal enthusiast for, as you can see, down on the right there is a yellow post box. I had just arrived in France for my holidays so to have a close up was a must

We were to pass this on a regular basis during the fortnight for it was on the way to our holiday cottage.
