Me and a mate went to Brittany for 5 days. Stayed at my moms place in the Morbihan region. For the people who haven’t visited Brittany before, it is a very quiet place……didn’t see a single English bike there and only saw one English car (export for the port obviously)…oh, and saw one copper.
Trip started bad as on the ferry (portmosuth – St.Malo)they tied our bikes down with rope to a hand rail, and the crossing was a bit rough and we got bugger all sleep – partly due to worrying about our bikes!
Rolled of into France on a beautiful sunny morning and headed off toawards St Brieuc using the coast road (going through Matigon and Frehel). The used to smaller road to Montcontour and west to Corlay. Lovely sleepy villages and some nice chilled roads. (zero traffic apart from the odd tractor)
We headed out to the Crozon region and was blown away by it….lovely towns, roads, beaches…was bliss. Found a huge beach there with no one on it…..just two suffers in the sea.

Also went to Quiberon, Carnac and La Trinnite-sur Mer (ive been there before but not on my bike) Quiberon is nice but the single road down to it can get a little bit busy (not English “busy” though). Carnac is the place of all those ancient stones and La Trinnite-sur Mer has some of the most beautiful little beaches.

When riding around Brittany we just visited/paseed through the smaller towns and mainly used the twistest yellow roads we could find on the map. Found some nice twisted where the Fazer came into her element….new back rubber as well…yummy!:cheer:

Also rode down to just inside the Pays De La Loire region (just north of St Nazzaire) and to be honest was disappointed. The area was very flat and quite industrial…and a tad run down (considering how pretty France normally is)

I thinking visiting Brittany is good if you want a quite/peaceful break, there’s not much traffic so is prob good for peeps maybe doing there 1st over seas trip. If you want major fun roads or absolutely breathe taking scenery I would head elsewhere in France. I only went there so I could stay at my moms place
