We went back to the Château des Ducs de Bretagne with Mark (he was sleeping the first time) and he loved it. Well, I don’t know if he loved it but he did enjoy playing with the chains holding the massive drawbridge.
We also stopped by the former LU cookies factory, with its trademark blue and red tower. It is now a trendy café—the Lieu Unique—and we had a Breizh Cola (the local Coke) and a European-size cup of coffee outside, in the lawn chairs.
All things considered, Mark adapted very well to France and a brand-new environment. He loves eating bread and cookies (and he now has two brand new teeth!), loves my parents and grand-parents and seeing the new sights. Yep, I am proud of him… he does very well as a mini-traveller!

Mark looks as if he’s having a great time. He must have the genes to be a good traveller!
We’ve been brainwashing him since birth 😉
I’m not surprised he likes bread – he’s half French! It seems like all French babies want is bread, bread, bread. Come to think of it, I swear that a lot of my husband’s colleagues could just live off of bread.
You are the one who mentioned French babies eating bread, and that’s why I tried actually. So credits go to you! 😉
Looks like you are having an amazing time! That is such a cute shot of Mark with the chains!
So far so good 🙂
You guys look very happy!!
I love your photos.
How interesting that the Usine LU is now a café. At least the city could keep the factory and “recycle” this iconic site. But, it is still a bit sad.
I wish we still had the factory… it smelled great!
I am really glad he is growing to be a very travel-savvy person! Who knows, sometime along the road, he might be a backpacker too!
I hope so 🙂
I love mark’s smile! And look at those muscles on you, seriously you look amazing. I attribute that to your work at home lifestyle and ability to travel.. 🙂
I attribute the muscles to Mark and his 10 kg 😆
You are too funny! But 10kg is a far bit. Cam just hit 13.6kg now.. Turning point, but it’s all in her legs and height now. I’m more worried about her shoe size getting too big. Size 8 already in Canada.
I think he is about 9 kg actually but he doesn’t seem to gain much weight anymore… he spends so much energy moving around!
