Welcome to our La Roche Bernard blog / website, and to something we hope will be a great resource for those visiting Brittany and Western France in general.

If you are resident, or have a holiday home or business in Morbihan, Southern Brittany or the Northern Pays de la Loire, and want to contribute regular blog posts, please let us know. We are looking for contributors from a broad range of backgrounds.

Martin Jarvis is a professional web developer and a WordPress expert, with a passion for all things "France" - including his lovely wife Nadine! With a french wife, a house on the border of Brittany and the Pays de la Loire, an aunt in Paris, his wife's family in Bordeaux, and a dear (now sadly departed) friend on the Cote d'Azur, Martin is well placed to comment on France from the point of view of an Englishman. Hopefully, this interest in France and his experience as a developer and marketer of websites will help make this site invaluable to francophiles everywhere.
