February 2006
Then we drove to Auray. It is in Morbihan, in the south of Brittany, on the way to Nantes.
We had a very nice break for 2 hours. On the river called Loch', there is a picturesque medieval port, Saint Goustan. The touristic port is really pleasant with cafés and terraces all around. However, there are not a lot of boats as it used to have. We were not during peak season!
My family, a long time ago lived in Auray and my father is passionate about it. I enjoyed sharing this visit with him! We just walked in the narrow streets, very authentic. It was nice and quiet on this Sunday morning, I really appreciated it!
If we had more time, I would have proposed a walk on the other side of the river, along the Loch’. But it was already time to go back to Nantes airport.
