FRIDAY 21st was our last day in Concarneau and it was a very lazy one with a late breakfast, a stroll to the markets followed by coffee in what had become our favourite bar
and an afternoon of doing nothing much before ambling down to Ville Close where we enjoyed a lovely evening meal. The island was obviously the place to be as there were hundreds of people out enjoying the fine, sunny evening and the several music makers, all making their music.
SATURDAY, 22nd JUNE, 2019
After a lovely week spent in the company of good friends Marion & Mike, it was time to part this morning. M & M packed up their car, Mike collected a little white van from a rental car company and the two Mikes loaded the bikes into the van along with our bags,
Mike and Marion heading towards Roscoff for tomorrow's ferry to Plymouth, and as we have another week in Brittany, we are heading along the coast to see what we can see. The plan is to do short bike rides when and where possible, much will depend on the weather.
There was no bike riding today, the weather was gorgeous and after leaving Concarneau, we drove through beautiful country to Douarnenez (glad I only have to spell some of these French names), a port on the Bay of Douarnenez
and where we ate a filled roll bought this morning from our local boulangerie. Across the river is Treboul, where we had coffee in one of the cafes there, then strolled around
before driving up the coast to Pentrez and our accommodation for the next three nights.
We detoured about half a dozen times on the way to visit some of the beaches,
enjoying every moment of the journey, the countryside and the coast.
