I didn't but I do now, noted
Good information I doubt the company I am keeping will want the Michelin star experience but thanks anyway
Did you get to Auray/Saint Goustan?
I’m here now for lunch
OMG , that dessert !!
Never had it before . So delicious
No ketchup and no frites! You know nothing of French cuisine.
Unlike Nutty .
I’m surprised he hasn’t posted the pics of the shite he was eating last week . More fucking fauna than food !!!!

Keep the Pictures coming !
Just came up on my facebook memories. Took my daughter to Brittany two years ago. I wanted to take her the the Stones at Carnac. My Parents took me when I was around 13/14 Beautiful place. And makes Stonehenge look insignificant.

I did tell you about kouign-amman.Makes lardy cake seem positively healthy.
Must have missed that .
It is utterly delicious though .
Lunch in Roscoff before catching ferry
It's like living with Alan Whicker.
Wrong island . Plus he’s dead
Hence the word 'like', as in 'similar to'......
Chortle .
Light snack to tide me over before boarding the bateau
Disappointing tarte tatin. I’m gutted
Back here again in just over 2 weeks. Got to pop to N America three times in the interim .
UKGSER comes good again. I came looking for info. and, found some 
Me and Mrs. Uturn are off to Brittany car camping in September arriving Roscoff on the 10th.then travelling around doing the sights plus, getting some cycling in as we are taking our road bikes. We spent
3 nights on a great campsite at Gourech last year during our first trip into France car camping (Mrs. Uturn is not a camper but, i convinced her to give it a go; the deal was, we use the car, fair enough)
so we will likely going back there for a couple of nights.
There is a wealth of info. out there about them i know and i am looking at it but, any tips on out and back from a location cycling routes would be appreciated if anyone has experience of such a thing.
Wapping, perhaps you would be so kind as to prepare for us a full itinerary for arriving Roskoff September 10th. arriving back a Roscoff on the 19th. including camp sites, routes (cycle as well as car)
places to visit and best en route cafes, plus restaurants (not too expensive mind) all to go into my trusty XT. Ta in advance

I believe Carnac is worth a try. I've never been but my brother used to take his family there every year on a static caravan holiday and
loved the place.
It's on the southwest coast of Brittany and looks really nice. It's one of those places I've always said I'll visit but never got round to it.
Maybe next year (he says again

Carnac is nice, spent a day there. We stayed in Camors. Was in the middle of nowhere, but was a small place aimed at young families which was great with my kids. We drove to various places around our base and generally had a wonderful time. Will go back to the region once all this madness is over ;-)

This lot should be enough to get your juices flowing and your pedals turning....

You could nick some ideas out of this, perhaps: https://www.abicyclette-voyages.com/en/cycling-adventure-vacation/brittany
Some great routes there i agree and we, (well Sue has, as she's IC cycling routes) have looked at some of them. Thing is, they tend to be linear and not
an out and back circular type of thing where you can base yourself somewhere, do a days ride of perhaps, 30 40 miles and end up back at base for tea.
The Green Ways routes (the web site looks interesting) do offer an opportunity to cobble together a nice days ride by using part Green Way part road
which is something we did last year by cycling river banks and canals then returning the same way or by road which, tend to be quiet (we found anyway).
Did you mean Gouarec?
Camping Tost Aven, Gouarec, Brittany - This campsite is run by a couple who set up Brittany Bikes. They have a host of routes they'd be happy to share with you I'm sure. Really great little spot for cycling...
Have you been to Binic? Also to Saint Pol de Leon, great campsite at Camping Ar Kléguer
Linear versus circular and circular versus linear, is always a challenge. Some bods want A to B to C (linear) and some want A to B to C to A (circular) Me? I'd find a decent spot somewhere near where many of the routes pass through (or close'ish to) and anchor myself there. I'd then fill in the gaps with a Michelin map. I'd guess none of the D and lesser roads are going to be hugely busy? Having a car, so you can at least drive to a sensible jumping off stop and return to it later, is a big advantage.
Enjoy yoir holiday.
