Vitre

In no particular order, we started exploring the “historic towns of character” as the Brittany tourism office described each of the petit villes de Bretagne. Next up: the little town of Vitre, where apparently, there is “nothing” to see except the castles ruins, which are not as interesting to explore as Fougeres. Sure, a few remains of the fortress wall and castle remain today, but after the textiles industry moved out, the town turned back into a sleepy like village around 1900. Yep, I see that....

We happened into Vitre on a Sunday afternoon. Talk about the sidewalks rolling up….We did find one café open where we were able to splurge on a diet coke and lazily watched the townspeople strolling by.

Maybe we just caught it on a slow day?
