Brittany Towns  Brittany must surely be characterised by its quaint seaside towns and fishing villages which are credit enough to the area, but more than this, it is blessed with such fantastic jewels as St Malo with its splendid walled old town; Lorient with it's fishing port, beach and Celtic music festival; and Rennes, the regions capital with its huge Saturday market.  St Malo is our personal favourite.

Locronan

Location: About 15km NW of Quimper.
General Information: One of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.
Description: Founded by the Irish monk, St Ronan the village of Locronan gives the visitor the feeling of being stuck in a time warp. It is incredibly well preserved - granite bricked buildings with slate roofs are centred around a Church in the cobbled square. The town’s prosperity came from the linen/hemp industry and the manufacture and supply of sail cloth for shipping.
Our Recommendations: Well worth visiting if you are in the area, particularly as there are many craftsmens/artisans working in the village. Why not visit in the morning, grab a bite to eat in one of the many ‘eateries’ (we had an adequate meal in a restaurant just as you approach the village from the car park) and then walk it all off on an invigorating walk out to the Pointe du Raz, a short drive away to the west.
For the children: Not so exciting for children!
