Morbihan and Auray

We spent the night in the parking at Mont St Michel on Monday with around 50 other vans. No facilities but a perfect place to see the sun set over the bay and then the picturesque floodlit Abbey. Next morning we drove down thru Brittany to the south coast stopping at Pleormel for a picnic lunch. Decided on an ACSI site a mile out of La Trinite sur Mer for a two night relaxation stop. Walked into La Trinite for coffee and a bit of food shopping before for returning to site to cook it. Demolished a botte of wine or two, at least that is still cheap and chilled out.


Its Thursday today, we drove round the Golfe de Morbihan (inland sea) via Auray and its pretty old harbour. Treated ourselves to a typical moules and frites lunch on the harbour - excellent. Stopping overnight on free parking (12 other French vans) at Port Navalo a huge marina with maybe 600 yachts moored here. Its right at the entrance to the Morbihan so perfect for either inland or offshore sailing - but the tidal flow must be challenging at half tide.
