We were kind of basing our destination on that of late October in the UK has been mild and dry so maybe Brittany maybe following the same trend ?

We have set our compass and slowly heading towards La Rochelle and Baretitz

We can't get over until October, bloody airbag light, fixed it but can't get an MOT until the end of next week
So we will be heading south, don't do cold these days.

We have been to Northern France many times in October at half terms,and mostly ended up heading to the Loire region to find some sunshine

Il de Ré if you like seafood, especially oysters, there are several growers on the island and the local wine is quite nice as well, Le Royal blanc.

You'll be at the start of the scallop season which runs from Oct 1st to May 15th. Mmm....my favourite after crab.
I often miss out as I'm not generally over there in that period.

Do you mean Concarneau? (It might help the OP to find it if searching )

Baretitz ?

Is that a naturist area?

The place beginning with C also has a disused railway line that runs inland to a place beginning with an R (Rosporden)

Did you have to send the ecu off to crashdata?

Ah, yes, bin there. It's about 40 miles down from Wipers, innit.

 

[Lenny HB]

Yes, did give them the fault code first to check it was fixable.

Not my intention at all but the OP said......

Any suggestions for must does ?

and if searching for somewhere on a map or Google or GPS it's essential to spell place names correctly.

Read Death in Brittany by Jean Luc Bannalec. Great read. Commissar Dupin, the hero inspector is based in Concarneau and eats and drinks at the Amiral Hotel. This restaurant is real and does an excellent meal based on the likes of the Commissar. If you fancy something else they also have a Maigret menu, as he also ate there (in the books) many years ago.

It's actually the Chateau de Chambord with the double helix staircase I was referring to
