Grand Cearn de Barnenez. The oldest megalithic complex in the world was built around 4500 BC in the Neolithic era and is located on the Breton Kernéléhen peninsula. The dimensions are enormous: the structure which weighs 14,000 tons, is 72 meters long, 25 meters wide and 8 meters high.
Trelevern. A camper's dream came true including an exclusive ocean view and private beach access.
Mont Saint Michel. What a bummer! No drive-by possible, you need to park your vehicle and get on a bus just to get close to it. A massive tourist trap! So we part with a snapshot from the distance and head off in direction of Caen. In the Normandy we were surprised by the pretty and hilly hinterland, but we were disappointed with boring looking beaches, ugly coastal towns and nevertheless packed campsites. Finally we found a quiet camp spot in Gonneville sur Mer for our last night.

The following day it took about seven hours to return home, including a very relaxed drive on the French and Belgian motorway. What a great trip! We'll be back to Brittany for sure.

Da wurden einige Tonnen Gestein zusammengetragen in Barnenez, Knochenarbeit in Reinkultur!
ReplyDeleteIch frage mich, ob auch ich es geschafft hätte, der Touristenfalle zu entkommen? Aber klar, Mont Saint Michel ist ein absoluter Hotspot, da will man wohl den Verkehr etwas einschränken.

Ich war vor 25 Jahren schon einmal am Mont Saint Michel, da konnten wir noch ganz heranfahren (mit dem Motorrad). Vielleicht müsste man den Ort im Winter besuchen. LG SonjaM
