Church at Bourg Trégastel

The intention for the last day was to take a boat around the Sept Îles unfortunately the tides meant there were no boats that day from Trégastel. If you're doing this walk look ahead the tides may be better from one of the earlier stops. Instead we walked to the Vallée des Traouïero a rocky wooded area inland and then walked along the coast in the afternoon. Both evenings we spent at Trégastel we ate out at local restaurants by the port watching the sun set. Unfortunately in Bourg we just missed a concert by the church fitters but we spotted a poster

Le Sentier des Douaniers

The next day of the holiday was walking Le Sentier des Douaniers and old smugglers path over to Trégastel. Spectacular rock formations next to the sea - and the weather behaved! Probably the most popular part of the coast but it was much enjoyed lots of little rocky harbours. The rocky outcrops reminded me of the Staffordshire Roaches with the tide in! Here's the link again to the flickr album.

The next day was a rest day, we spent it wandering around Perros Guirec, a trip round a museum of local hostory, lunch at a creperie and a wander along the beach. Dinner again at the Manoir du Sphinx admiring the sunset.

Day three started with a taxi ride to Port Blanc and then we walked to Perros Guirec for a 2 night stay at the Manoir du Sphinx - a long walk by the shore. Route finding was sometimes tricky. The weather was much better and the port of Perros Guirec was a good resting place before the final hill up to the hotel! The photo was taken from our room and the hotel restaurant jutted out over the hotel lawn giving stunning views as we ate - we were lucky with our table - some tables were further away from the windows!

Day 2 of this year's holiday was a walk to Tréguier along the coast past Neolithic remains and the Jaudy estuary. This was the day it rained - cleared up once we got there and the hotel for the evening had a starred Michelin restaurant.

Troezel Vras

It's been rather a long time since we returned from our summer break - again an Inntravel tour, this time the Granite Coast of Brittany. So while I still remember it a few comments: we spent the first day on a circular walk around Troezel Vras, country lanes and coastal walks, we went past a large house which has some connection to the du Mauriers. Returned in time for a trip to a local wine merchant - this was one reason for going by car! The fish eater very much enjoyed the evening meal - we should have alerted them in advance that one member of the party isn't keen on oily fish! As you can see the accomodation came with a lovely courtyard. The complete set of photos from the holiday is here
