PENTREZ 1


SUNDAY, 23rd JUNE, 2019

We spent today touring around the Crozon Peninsula and were so pleased that we had the van and didn't have to ride up and down the hills and country lanes in the rain.

Our first stop was at Landevennec where we visited the 5th century abbey ruins and the museum which tell the tale of the site's prestigious history.



Then we followed the coast, though we couldn't always see it, to Lanveoc where we found a lovely cafe and decided to stop there for lunch.

The rain stopped shortly after lunch, making the day much more pleasant.

We continued our journey after lunch, to Le Fret, to Roscanvel, Pointe des Espangols and then to Camaret sur Mer where we walked along by the markets and bought ice creams.

Pointe de Penhir, just outside Camaret was very interesting with a Battle of the Atlantic Memorial


and Museum which we hadn't known about and we spent some time wandering over the rocks looking at the bunkers,

the cliffs

and the beaches

before heading back home via a couple of beaches and through Crozon, stopping there for refreshments but nothing was open!

The sun almost made an appearance this evening but didn't quite make it, but the rain stayed away for the afternoon.
