Walk Plouay

by gwened

a wonderful little town found, near the expressway N165 on way to Morlaix; the site of the Brittany car rallye that was going on as we arrive there wow!! nice racing cars driving all over the area and into city center !!!all around rue Paul Ihuel,rue de Bécherel, rue du Budo,rue des alliées (tourist office),and rue de maquis.Then the steepy hilly streets and the wonderful city center by the church and mayor's office. Nice walks and plenty of parking for the car!!!by rue du commerce.Wonderful monument to the fallen by the church of Saint Ouen as well.corner of rue de Bécherel and rue Paul Ihuel. walking is nice all over and the church and city center is wonderful, than with a car rallye at same time it is glorious.;;)

Walk Grand Champ-Landaul

by gwened

The tale of two towns, small but nice to walk too. Its my aim to visit every town in the Morbihan at least maybe Brittany lol! and walk it, drive it, both.These are two nice inland towns in the Morbihan my dept 56. Grand Champ is bigger in the middle of pasture lands and dairy farms; Landaul is closer to the expressway N165 but on the other side of tourism.Both are nice for a pass by or stop for lunch, and see the wonderful churches. walking is great, even better than driving, ,,, I do both. driving to get there close and then walking to be with the culture around me. Grand Champ has a nice history from resistance to the French revolutionary so much nicer to visit, both have very nice churches.Enjoy the walk

Walk Locminé

by gwened

walking is fantastic once in town, the best way to soak up its history and marvels of its architecture. Locminé is no difference sitting at the crossroads of the MOrbihan near N24 and down on D764 to Vannes.I encourage to do that in France wherever you are, walk its towns and see why it should have been call a movable feast to it all. walking amongst history and beautiful architecture, plus its good for you.

Walk Arradon

by gwened

This is near Vannes and quite close to me. Winter is quiet, in the summer all wakes up here. Anyway on any weather a walk into town is always great.http://www.arradon.com/the city hall government officeIts name of Arradon probably comes from the time of Gaule independance or the celtique Aradunum or hill of Ara. Only 7km from Vannes and anchor on the Gulf of Morbihan along the river Vincin. It is a very agricultural area, at the time of the French revolution there were 150 farms in the area. Today there are only 11 left, so much for a revolution. Small number of its citizens live from fishing and boat making. The ostriculture is recent as well as pleasure and nautical events. They are 6 ostriculturers today in town and with more than 1000 musseling sites for its growth.Enjoy the city walking along the ostricultures folks along the bay area.However city center around the church of St...

walk Etel and the ria

by gwened

great place to come in summer as now most is close until Feb 2013. a ride by car as i do is still good but visitors should come in summer.A totally marine ambiance with great restos facing the harbor, nice beaches, and the famous wave ocean barrier the "barre", the pleasure boat marina, and the museum of tuna boat builders Great streets to walk even now, hilly and great views over the ria etel the area where the sweet waters of the rivers link up with the salty waters of the ocean, a natural wonder world not to missed.This is Etel a nice fisherman town, still does have a great fish market, and just wonderful sea life. A heaven to walk it as I do even in winter.walk Etel walk the harbor area all to the beach at north end,and wait for summer for the restos facing the harbor and the museum, the boat ride into the ria on compagnie des iles.
