Today was a train day. Just before 11am we boarded the train at Granville which would take us to Rennes.
One bicycle was already loaded owned by a Frenchman who modelled himself on Catweazle. John placed Angela's bike with one of its wheels just brushing the Frenchmans rack bag. He shouted at John in French, John shouted back at him in very loud English. Why this man was so upset we couldn't fathom. Angela's bike moved by an inch and the men calmed. The atmosphere left by the altercation hung heavily in the air all the way to Rennes.
Ninety minutes later, time to board train to Nantes, you've guessed it there he was. Great! Fortunately all the bike slots were taken in our carriage. The afternoon hot we stopped on the way to the campsite a the small town of St. Luce sure Loire, alongside the river Loire.
Some kind of fund raising event was taking place complete with live music. We stopped awhile to listen. Camping Belle Riviere is about seven miles east of Nantes. We stayed here last year. Tomorrow we will cycle into the city in hope of finding a bike shop who can sort John's bike.
