As
the hectic Christmas and New Year festive season recedes into the memory why
not join us on a weekend visit to Brittany to re-stock the cellar, get the
senses moving again, and generally re-invigorate yourself with a weekend away?
St
Valentine's Day falls this weekend so we've tried to make this trip a very
special one.
We pick up from the various points indicated below and travel to Plymouth Ferryport to catch the 2200 sailing to Roscoff. A 2-berth cabin is provided for the overnight crossing.
We
disembark at 0800 on Saturday and set off westwards via Morlaix to the main
town of the region, Brest.
We park near the Arsenal at the bottom of the main street where the main shops are located. On the other side of the main street is the Naval Dockyard. There's an interesting maritime museum by the coach park. Along the main street, the Rue du Siam, there are several cafes and bars and restaurants. The Menu du Jour is always excellent value.
We'll spend the morning in Brest then in the early afternoon we will head towards the airport and the Leclerc Hypermarket where we will spend some time doing essential shopping. We resume our drive in the afternoon and travel to Morlaix for some sightseeing.
You’ll
probably need a break every now and then and around the main square there
are many cafes and restaurants where a croissant and coffee is always available,
something stronger if you prefer.
After sightseeing in this pleasant market town we start towards Roscoff for our final shopping at the beer and wine warehouse "Red Cash" which has some very good prices on alcoholic drinks. From here we continue into St Pol de Léon and the Restaurant "Le Passiflore" where we have a very good 4-course candlelit dinner with wine. We then drive to Roscoff to catch the 2200 sailing to England. This reaches Plymouth at 0800 on Sunday and after disembarkation the coach returns to the original pick up points.
