Stay: Concarneau - Aire free, € services N47°51.796' W3°54.309' / 47.86342, -3.90538
The sea fog was heavy on the coast this morning, so heading to any lookouts was a waste of time, and as we need to get to Macon, we need to get through a few kilometres.
We stopped in Locronan, which won the second most favourite town by the French populace this year. It was a lovely town of granite townhouses and cobbled streets with the usual stores selling local produce.
We drove along to the end of the peninsula and walked to Point Van, offering great views of the coast, Point Raz and lighthouses.
From here we drove to Concarneau. The highlight here is to visit the walled city built in the 14th century, linked to the mainland by an old drawbridge. We walked along the cobblestones passageways and the ramparts and also peeked into a few 'tourist' shops.
Instead of staying in the Aire at the SNCF station we went to the Aire near the Hospital, which was much nicer. After dinner we went for a stroll through the wooded parkland and along the bay and watch the sunset. Beautiful.
