AT's family took us to La Baule, an exclusive seaside commune in southern Brittany. We did tons of…read moresightseeing that day and we stopped at Chapelle Sainte-Anne. I was quite lucky because on exhibit was the Magic of Russian Christmas.
Upon entering with no admission fees, AT, his family, and I were treated to a panorama of Russian art in the form of greeting cards, postcards, paintings, writings, children's books and matryoshka dolls of all varieties and sizes. We saw people dressed in traditional costumes from different parts of Russia and even Christmas scene in a traditional Russian village, complete with hundreds of people, their homes, and churches.
I was happy that in addition to exploring Brittany, I got to experience a small part of Russian culture in this festive, educative event.
