KelvinBland Says: Visit the Brasserie de Le Gare de Moncontour. Good beer, brewed in the English way eg bitter with hops from Kent. The Brewer is friendly and justifiably proud of his work although the bar is a little clinical and could do with making it feel warmer.

TygerLyn Says: There are several B&B's in this pretty town. Mostly situated in the old town and all are advertised on any web site for Moncontour. However, parking is at a premium in this place and several of them are on the narrow cobbled streets. Find out exactly where your B&B is first...

Moncontour is the home of my friend Peter who used to live in Andover. We both agree there is no contest, Moncontour wins hands down! Moncontour is an ancient small town/large village about an hour...

Moncontour is just down the road from Plouguenast where I am staying, and though the day I stopped to visit the weather was horrible (snowing and cold!), I hope to try again when it's a bit sunnier!
