2.8.12. Vilaine River, Rieux. The river swings in a lazy arc and a tree covered hill juts abruptly from the flat pastureland.
The castle of the Seigneurs de Rieux stands astride the summit. Its hidden now by trees and the walls have crumbled. Only the Keep still stands. Once, the castle dominated the skyline.
Cattle graze beneath, as they must have done for centuries; and the Vilaine river meanders to the sea.
For the next few days the forecast is squally 5's and 6's, with swell up to 3m off Belle Ile. A cue to explore the Vilaine some more.
