If you are looking for Chinese or Indian food (spices, fresh vegetables, fruit, tins, jars, frozen fish and seafood, Chinese dishes and cutlery, etc) you will find everything you need (and more!) at Belasie in Rennes.
They also have a ‘deli’ so you can take home some ready meals. In the frozen section, fish, seas food, samosas, etc. I have recently bought some frozen curry leaves and lemon grass.
This supermarket is open to anyone not just to restaurants. You will find big bags of spices or rice (ie 25kg bags!!) but they also sell ‘normal’ size bags!
It is open Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 7pm.
Address: 30 rue de la Donelière, It is next to Lidl.
Rennes is in Brittany, about 30 min from our gite in Evran.
Brittany is famous for to its wealth of golf courses both on the coast and inland. Several 9 and 18 hole golf courses can be found within 20-30 minutes drive from our gite in Evran.
They are just waiting to challenge your skills. You could even try a different one gold course each day!
I have just had a visit from my French neighbour, a retired farmer. Well he said he is retired but he works as much as before!
He turned up on his tractor and brought us a cherry tree he grafted himself a while ago. He also had a spade and a shovel!!
Today is apparently a right day for planting fruit trees! French people work the land according to the moon. Farmers definitely use this technique. Unfortunately although we have 2000 sqm of land, we don’t have any more room for a cherry tree. We have already 4 apple trees, 10 pear trees, walnut and hazel nut trees and 3 cherry trees.
He has hectares of land so I told him to plant it on his land and I would go and pick the cherries when they will be ripe!!
