So We're Back

Got back on Saturday, having enjoyed a
séjour
very
agréable
in
Bretagne.
I’ll probably do a few in-depth posts about “Mo Léathanta Saoire” when I get time (500-odd photos to arrange, tag and back up first), but the highlights were as follows:
The beaches, especially Carantec. Even though we had pretty awful weather for a lot of the time, we were still able to spend several hours paddling and building sandcastles when the rain stayed away.
Locronan. A beautiful, almost perfectly preserved medieval village.
Our gite. Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and very quiet. It was located in a sleepy little village and owned by a lovely elderly couple.
The ferry. Lots to do to pass the fourteen hours of a crossing. Surprisingly good food, too. And the passage from Ringaskiddy out through Cork harbour to Roches Point is magnificent. Sod flying, this is the way to do it.
The parish closes. Extraordinarily complex church architecture and decor in a cluster of small villages near Morlaix.
Cidre de Bretagne. Yum!
The coastline. Cliffs, inlets, lighthouses, islands… you name it, it’s there.
