Walks in Morbihan


I had gotten a book quite some time ago that details various circular walking routes through our "county" of Morbihan. The book very nicely describes the sights that will be seen along the way and gives very specific instructions on how to get back to your car after walking. This morning, Janis and I decided to try out one of the easier walks, an 8 kilometer long hike leaving from the little town of St-Pierre-Quiberon.

We saw some great little villages, an 11th century chapel, a dolmen, a fountain where St. David refreshed himself, a Memorial to the American mothers of soldiers in WWI and WWII, and beautiful rocky scenery all along la Côte Sauvage - the wild coast, on the Quiberon Peninsula.

Gorgeous! We even watched quite a few surfers do their thing on the big waves that were rolling in.

After our walk, we found a cute little creperie where we sat on the terrace and enjoyed crepes and mussels.
