Dist:0.9km<br/>This French signpost outside the Arts Centre in Herbert Street points the way to Pontardawe's twin town, Locminé in Brittany (via Brecon? -- although periodically adjusted by vandals the signpost is usually turned this way). The indicated distance of 765 km seems a little exaggerated, though, as the route (via Plymouth and Roscoff) totals about 650 km according to Michelin.
