Route description for Loire - Brittany - Normandy - Champagne June - July 2018


Loire - Brittany - Normandy - Champagne June - July 2018

Many years ago we were last in Brittany. There were still a lot of white spots on the map and in 2018 our plan was to see more of Brittany. Some already visited sights such as For example, we have not started Carnac. In France we only drove on toll-free roads. Conclusion: We found the northern granite rose coast as a highlight. This is probably why many circular tours start counter-clockwise in St. Malo. We drove clockwise and found it more exciting. Next year we will visit Brittany and the Loire Valley again and hope for a summer like this year.

Étretat, Frankreich

We had read about the cliff with the white rocks and wanted to see them. You cannot park in the immediate vicinity because of a huge golf course. So we parked on an SP just outside the village and walked a good half an hour to the coast. And then that: fog or haze! The humid sea air condensed with the hot land air. Still we could see something and then ... it went on.
