Some drunk French bloke kept usawake last night
about 3am for an hour and then he started to cry and then rant again ARGHHHHH!!!! Eventually someone shouted at him to shut up!
Decided to go to Concarneau today but beforehand
we drove into Quiberon town, a really pretty fishing port – lovely looking
beach that reminded me of Dinard in the north.
Enjoyed the drive back along the peninsula too, such beautiful scenery.
We had planned to go to Carnac to see the standing
stones it is famous for but there was a 5 mile queue to get anywhere near the
town which was a bit disappointing, the satnav diverted us through great scenery
anyway!
We chose Concarneau as our next stop, the skies
had cleared. We went to the aire
there, it was in the railway car park!! As with all the aires we were able to
drive straight into a space although lots of people were just parked up on the
side.
We walked about 5 mins towards the
centre but decided that the kids weren’t in the mood for a hike so we had lunch
and then drove down to the old walled town, 'Le ville close' to find a parking
space which we did eventually. 
It was
really worth the trip, a fantastic band was playing Celtic folk music
immediately after the bridge into the medieval town. Before children we would have stayed, eaten and drank all day here! The narrow streets are beautiful and although
busy they had a great atmosphere. We walked
all the way through the town and then back along the walls. At the end of the town is a square where 2 performers
were doing a conjuring act with juggling batons and balls. Although it was all in French and the fact
that they dropped the balls a lot, the kids enjoyed it!! They moaned a bit that their legs were tired
and that they were thirsty but overall afterwards said it was good.
Chris then took us to a different aire at a
village called Pendruc. The aire had
space for 6 vans only, when we arrived there were 2 spaces which we were amazed
at as it was 3pm and the view was amazing! We chose a front row spot again next
to a van as cool as ours!!!
A HUGE German Mercedes 319 truck that looked like it may have been an ex army ambulance. It was dark green, yellow and orange, a DIY camper-job but ubercool. We looked great next to each other!! The beach was even closer than the day before, about 30 sec walk and beautiful again. The tide was coming in again - the beach was a nice sand/stone mix. The children played for a while on the beach then we came back for tea.
Afterwards we walked along to the coast road
to the next bay and watched a gorgeous sun set.
It was a lovely family in the German van next to us.
Small chemical loo outside in woodland picnic
area next to aire wasn’t too bad. Many people came to the aire and were turned away. We were very blessed to get a spot. Watching the bats as we go to bed.
