On my last day with Twingo, I took a ride to Guérande, a town about 50km north of St Brevin. The town has an impressive medieval architecture, with a great main entrance through the Saint Michael´s gate with two towers. This entrance gives the impression that it was a town of prestige and power during the Middle Ages. Inside the towers there is a museum now, showing furniture, clothes and other historical artefacts. The charming narrow streets of the old town is filled with crêperies, chocolateries, cafés, galleries and boutiques. The church Saint Aubin is breathtaking. When I am in such great enormous religious buildings, I can imagine that in those times, just being in a building like that, with all those strong symbols and words, could make you believe in something bigger, and greater than yourself because it makes you feel so small and human.
