On our way back we wanted to visit some Loire Castles. We chose Blois would be a good place to stay and had a B&B near Blois. We could check-in only after 6 in the evening so we spent some time in Blois. This is a really nice town. We liked it a lot. There…
Some from Le Guilvinec
Just a few from a walk along the quay wall. We had just another day of laziness before we have to leave for our way home. We enjoyed our stay here and will come back some time. Possibly booking the same apartment.
Pointe du Raz
We decided to go to Pointe du Raz without really consulting the weather forecast. So we went and found out … rain, wind and fog. What nice conditions to have a look over the pond. At least I am pretty sure that we really found it. During our hike to Pointe du Raz we were…
Splish Splash …
We were lucky and the high tide spectacle repeated that day. It was hard to find a dry spot. I was making a lot of photographs from some spot when I realized that I was standing on the only dry square meter on the street and decided not to challenge my luck too much and…
A day to rest – strolling along the coast
After being on the road almost all day for the last couple of days we decided to slow down for a day, be lazy and just have some good time strolling along the coast at Le Guilvinec. The night was anyway kind of restless too since we had quite some wind and the waves hitting…
Quimper
Quimper is a town which is also the prefecture of department Finistère. We went there and I was very uninspired that day. Maybe because on our way to Quimper we stopped at distillery Menhirs (Click!) and I would have stayed there longer – but then without going to Quimper afterwards. One thing to note about…
Eckmühl Lighthouse
From Pointe du Millier we headed back to our temporary home, but with a short detour via Phare d’Eckmühl (Click!)to see the sunset. It was a nice evening, although, over time it got windy and rather cold. So after sunset we engaged the heating of our car to increase the core temperature again.
Short Stop: Pointe du Millier
From Duarnenez we went along the coast direction west and had a short stop at Pointe du Millier where we had a walk through the cliffs. Very nice place.
September Sixes: Ship museum Duarnenez
We went to Duarnenez to visit the ship museum. Quite interesting. Outside there were a few ships that you could visit and then there is a museum where there are many smaller boats inside. Here is my series of sixes for the month of September. It is some details of a ship I would call…
Locronan
We went on a trip to Doarnenez to visit the ship museum. Worth a detour: Locronan. OK, if you go to Locronan outside the holiday season: Go early in the morning. If you go to Locronan during the holiday season: At least go very early. Anyway, we arrived kind of early outside the holiday season….
Short stop: Bénodet
And on our way back to our temporary home in La Guilvinec we also had a short stop in Bénodet at the port to have an ice cream – no matter the weather and temperature: it is vacation, so there is nothing wrong with ice cream. Above is the view from Bénodet across the Odet.
Short stop: La Forêt-Fouesnant
After escaping from rainy Concarneau we had a short stop in La Forêt-Fouesnant where went for a walk enjoying the sun escaping the clouds for a while.
