From Ouest-France.

Expected to 17h, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived at the airport at 19:10 Pleurtuit Friday night.

On site, some curious were present to witness the landing of the helicopter carrying one of the most powerful men on the planet.......
Soon the delegation present to receive John Kerry is activated. Hosted by the prefect, he quickly slipped into a big black 4x4. The procession left the scene in the direction of Saint-Briac where U.S. Secretary of State should reside until Sunday evening.

A ceremony with photographer Tony Vaccaro is provided all morning in Saint-Briac Saturday.

Earlier, it was Brice Lalonde, former mayor of the town, and cousin John Kerry arrived in the town.
