Au port du Belon, dans le bras de mer qui s'innonde et recrée deux fois par jour un nouveau monde.

Lovely. I like the reflection of the trees in the water ; )

This place in Britany in the west of France on the sea side is close to Pont Aven the famous city where lived the impressionist painter Paul Gauguin before moving to Tahiti.

How interesting. I kind of like Gauguin... I bet Britany has great oysters, no?

Yes it is true inside very close to this place "Huîtres du Belon" and also at Quiberon about 35 km in direction of the South.

That's great. What kind of wine do you drink with the oysters? I've always had them with Riesling or Gewurtztraminer, but those are German wines.

Are you a wine lover ?
It's better to drink a white Burgondy wine like Chablis, or Muscadet sur Lie,
Or a Sauvignon white. I think that Alsace wines or German wines are to complex for Oysters.

Yes, I love wine. My favorite is a deep red Chateau-neuf-du-Pap--belissima! I love complex wines. ...I once visited Bordeaux and got very drunk on some of their wine. I was on a trip with my bestfriend to see the prehistoric caves in Lasceax, however we never made it because we ran out of money! It was a wonderful trip anyway. France is beautiful in the spring.

I share your opinion but I would add autumn also. It's quite normal to get drunk when you visit caves...If after that you don't have to drive it's ok.

I once read a poem by Robert Creeley about his experience seeing the caves in France. He talked about how some prehistoric guy got his mojo working and then painted the sometimes graphic pictures. I think about that when I'm writing my poetry sometimes. How the mojo (sexual energie) plays into the creation of art. But I digress. I'm sorry I can't write in French, but maybe this is good practice for you?
