A Sunday walk to the boulangerie to buy bread and croissants


A road leading out of  St Agnan
It's a change from our usual Sunday morning walks around Blackmans Bay.  This Sunday Sue and I walk into our nearest French village, St Agnan, to buy bread. 
The village has two boulangeries, one tabac, two restaurants, one bank, one very large gendarmerie, one beautician offering liptherm, one antique shop, a church, hall and lots of lovely houses and gardens. 

Hardly anyone is ever seen in the town.  One wonders what goes on behind all the closed shutters.

Hautefort with its castle and village below is just out of St Agnan, with the supermarche on the road towards it.  As we discover, just about everything is shut on a Sunday in rural France but it is oh so pretty.
