I’m off to France! Destination upon arrival: Pont-Aven. I’m not sure how much computer or internet access I’ll have in the countryside, so the blog will likely be quiet until I return in August. If anyone has any recommendations of parts of France to visit, restaurants to eat at or anything at all, please leave a comment!
And, yes, I do plan to check out the Les Rencontres d’Arles. If anyone’s going, let me know and perhaps we can meet there.

Shane,
Either before or after your visit to Arles, you should make a point of going to the small village of Pezenas (about 135km west of Arles). It is one of my favorite places in France. If you go take a walking tour of some of the small villages around – including a section of the Via Domitia. The material there would fit nicely with your Ireland series.
Of course also, from Pont Aven, you go down the coast to LaRochelle.
Bon voyage!
