We are very much in need of a good night's sleep. Whilst our overnight stops recently have been in excellent locations, we are finding with darkness not falling until after eleven, and the sun up just after six we are only resting properly for a few hours a night. And the recent extreme hot weather has also played its part.
So, as we were up early this morning, we left early, stopping at the church in the village to look inside, and then taking a short drive to Lanmeur to another church to look at the 9th century crypt, which was one of the oldest crypts in France.
Churches always feature heavily when we visit Europe, probably because they're free to visit, but they are all interesting in their different ways. All churched out, or so we thought, we drove to the seaside resort and picturesque village of Locquirec.
The views were stunning, aquamarine sea, and a huge white sand beach. We felt we were looking at a holiday brochure, if holiday brochures are still available. And of course there was a pretty little church to visit. Then it was time to drive the coast road up to the granite coast. The beaches were out of this world, we'd never seen the like. So needless to say the journey took a while, as we had to keep stopping to look, photograph and admire. So tonight another free stop, just across from another stunning beach. Our choice is to pay £18.00 at the aire, or stay for free across the road with the French at the rear of the Super U supermarket car park.
It's a no brainer. We are now in the most popular holiday area in northern Brittany. With the school holidays beginning this weekend, we need to push on and move further down the coast. But with so many beautiful places to visit we don't really want to rush.
