A WEEK AFLOAT BRITTANY
DO YOU ONLY HAVE A WEEK TO SPARE?
For those of us who are time poor but who want to seize the moment, either on our own boat or on a charter, it is reassuring to know that there are plenty of cruising hubs from where we can enjoy some of the best of the region in only a few days. This new series, A Week Afloat, commissioned by Yachting Monthly and Imray, visits some ideal destinations and suggests a one-week itinerary. Each article, complete with expanded information about cruising each area, will be available as a PDF download via Imray’s website or Google Play Books.
The Gulf of Morbihan is a fabulously scenic inland sea of 50 square miles and about 40 islands, affording some protection from the weather, and busy with boats of all shapes and sizes. It is the perfect place for a week’s cruise, with sandy beaches, history and legend to discover and gastronomy to enjoy. The River Auray leads up to the charming town of Auray in the north-west corner of the gulf. Vannes, in the northeast corner, is a place of winding cobbled streets, full of character, colour and beautiful medieval architecture as well as having a stunningly good market.
