I have done a search previously. It all sounds great.

Any sights of interest other than the standing stones anyone would recommend.

Carnac is a great spot for a family holiday. Lovely beach and nice town to stroll around.
La trinite ( about 3 miles away) is a lovely yachting town.
Drive down the Quiberon Peninsula alond La Cote Sauvage for a nice day out.
A little bit further a field Auray is beautiful, but make sure you walk down from the new town to the old harbour or you'll miss the best bit.
Vannes is a larger walled town but very pretty and great shopping.
Josselin ( maybe 30 miles inland) has a beautiful medieval chateau.
These are all I can remember as it's about 10 years since I was there, but Brittany if one of my favourite parts of France & I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! :wink:
(We stayed at La Grande Mertrairie camp site & another site in La Trinite another year as we had a touring caravan at the time.)

Thank you toastedmallow

I've googled most of the places you mentioned and it all looks great.

Wish i could retain as much info after 10 years :lol:

We've opted for southern brittany too.

lets hope its a better summer than the last even if we did do better than most.

cheers :wink:

My fiance comes from the area. Carnac is fab and a great base to do some exploring. Theres loads to see if you are doing some research. First medievil Quimper is fab tho maybe a bit far but as long as you have a car its ok. And there is the cliffs d'Armor near Quimper with amazing views. Concarneau is a lovely seaside resort and not far from carnac. From there you could get a boat to see Belle ile en mer its absolutly amazing when the weather is good. Whatever you do Josselin is a must see as stated earlier!!!
