This is where we used to go to pay our council tax in the days when they still entered details into a ledger, before the dreaded computer. The first time we paid, I asked for a receipt. The elderly clerk said in a rather haughty fashion, in French of course... "You have just seen me enter it into the ledger... you do not need a receipt." And we didn't get one!

Indeed ... and if you look at the distance measurement on the bottom left of the screengrab, it's only a few km from the coast in either direction. :)

Hi Mira Bilis... Frehel is actually a commmune. On your map link.. the whole area is within the dotted white line so this place could be almost seafront. I think the pink thing is pointing out the information centre or something similar. It's not very far from St Malo, the nearest port.
Trix.. if they have surf boards.. it's probably not too far from the water.

And hi Homely! :) Actually, when I look at street cams and Google Streetviews of many small towns in America, this place doesn't look any quieter to me. :)
hi MD....so you can verify for me that it is definately near the water?

Trix... I clicked on your link and it was a woman called Frehel with a further link to this place. When I was actually on the Frehel, Brittany, page I thought I'd put the details of the top of that page on here as a link. It was exactly the same as your link so I didn't bother to put it. Never mind, I saw the link you intended. I've actually holidayed in this area. It's a nice place.

Hi Trix and Homely.
I did see the alien but I had to go out and didn't have time to comment. I quite like the look of it, the area, not the alien! LOL
Are these perhaps vacation homes? Today there is a car parked out front of the nearest home, and it has a surf board or stand up paddle board on top. Folks in and out from car to house.

Maybe they didn't pay their council tax.
