The second day of the France expedition has started.

Last night, feeling tired from traveling, I fell asleep as soon as I got into bed, and this morning I woke up feeling refreshed.

I went to the town bakery for breakfast.
There were many delicious-looking breads lined up, and I was really struggling to choose, but everyone took their favorite bread home and enjoyed it along with the juices and fruits that were also prepared!

Before departure, some children were worried about the local food, but they were all very impressed and enjoyed eating everything deliciously!

After finishing eating, the children take responsibility for cleaning up, such as washing dishes and tidying the room, and they consciously work on acting independently in their daily lives!

After breakfast, we took a local bus and went sightseeing around the town of Dinan.
In Dinan, we visited the market held from morning until around noon.
Even the same types of vegetables were completely different in size from those in Japan, and the children really enjoyed seeing the local ingredients!

After the market, we moved to a spot on top of the city walls with a beautiful view, and while enjoying the scenery, we ate French bread sandwiches prepared by the bakery we visited in the morning.

Afterwards, we took a leisurely stroll through the historic town of Dinan, capturing photos of the timber-framed houses and the approximately 800-meter cobblestone slopes unique to France. After walking for about an hour,
we enjoyed brownies and kouign-amann as snacks at a bakery.
All of them are truly delicious, and the children are impressed by the authentic bread!!

In the afternoon, we returned to the lodging from Dinan once, and went sightseeing in Saint-Malo, known as the pirate city.
In Saint-Malo, there is a coastline where we first enjoyed the beautiful sea view from atop the city walls, and then went down to the seaside to run freely on the sandy beach and play by dipping our feet in the sea!

After San Malo, we visited Coco's house, played a little in the garden, and then had dinner.
Tonight, I made the specialty of the Brittany region where I am staying, "buckwheat galettes" and "crepes."

I had a very fulfilling day today as well.
Experiencing different environments and cultures from Japan, absorbing many things!!
Tomorrow morning, we plan to visit a local school, and in the afternoon, we will train for the tournament!
