Bretagne Travel Forum

hi,
i am rajeev,i am plannin to visit brest in may..can u suggest me some part time jobs,and plz provide me with an idea of the jobs and pay,and i dont know french,,,,

We are planning a 2 week visit to Bretagne in August. I am wondering if it there is a central enough location for a "chambre d'hotes" ...or, at most 2 locations from where we could reach by car the 4 major Brittany zones around Dinan, Morlaix, Quimper and Vannes. Am I too ambitious and should I consider skipping something? Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if you can hire a campervan or motorhome in Brittany for less than a week? We will be just west of Rennes in April and would really like something for four days.

What does Petit Paris mean? Is it a certain location in Paris?

My boyfriends speaks NO french. But he needs a taxi from Dinard airport, to a campsite in Dol-de-Bretagne, around 50km.. so. How much roughly? and Will he be safe?

Does anyone know of good campsites close to the town of St Malo? Thanks!

Hello

does anyone knows what is the easiest way to get from Dinard airport in march to Rospoden near Concarneau with the least amount of changes? We don't have a car.Or any train that way?

thank you for your help.

I need to get to Rennes by public Transport on Sun.9th Dec 2007 from Nantes Atlantique.....can anyone help please

Has anyone used the takeaway this season? We found it good last year but I have read poor reports elsewhere.

I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me how can I get to Cape Raz?Is there any chance to get there by bus?I know that from Paris I can take the TGV to Quimper but from Quimper to Audierne can I take a bus?I would not like to rent a car. Thank you.

I'd like to travel from Bétahon, 30 km from Vannes, Sth Brittany, to Dinard station. I tried to phone the SCNF number from the UK and cannot get through.Can anybody help, please?

Hi, my wife and me want to go to Bretagne the first week of January 2008. We would like to stay at a cozy hotel/pension or B&B or a self-catering option in one of those old stone houses. Can anyone recommend a good accomodation ?

Hi,
I'm trying to find a good way to get from Audierne (on the coast, west of Quimper) to Roscoff, some day next week.
I can't be sure what day it will be - arriving as crew on a yacht (so it's all weather dependent) but I'm getting off to head home to the UK.
Ideally I'm looking for a pleasant journey - bus, train or mule - not too many changes and something that doesn't need to be booked in advance.
Any tips...?
Thanks

I need to get from Treguier to Dinard airport on a monday in a few weeks. Are there any trains or buses? It seems the trains run from Guingamp but I can't tell if they go to Dinard or nearby. Many thanks

Hi everyone,
I'll be in Bretagne the last 8 days of July. I'll reach that region with my car.
Can you suggest me what are the more strategic locations in order to visit as much as possible and try to catch the real spirit of Bretagne?

For istance, for the accommodation, I was thinking of the following locations:
- 4 nights in Dinan to visit: Dinan, St. Malo, Cancale, Cap Fréhel, Fort La Latte, Dinard, Fougères, Vitré, Rennes, St Brieuc, Ile de Brehat (any other suggestions?)
- 1 night in Morlaix to visit: Morlaix, St. Thégonnec, Guimiliau (any other suggestions?)
- 2 nights in Quimper to visit: Quimper, Concarneau, Pointe di Raz, Locronan (any other suggestions?)
- 1 night in Carnac to visit: Carnac (any other suggestions?)

Do you think that my scheduling is well planned?
Any suggestion, tip or comment will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot for your kind attention!
Cheers

Is there a bus from Saint-Quay-Portrieux on Sunday mornings which will arrive in St Brieuc in time to catch the 1011hrs TGV to Rennes?

Can anyone recomend good but reasonably priced places to eat in Benodet, not too smart as we will be camping!

I´m going to Vannes and I want to know if I can go to Carnac by train or also by bus. I want to know too if the stones are close to downtown as to go on feet or if I need to take a bus from the train or bus station. How long should I stay there to see most of the stones?
Thank for your help.

I´m going to go for short trip to Vannes,Quiberon,Carnac,Quimper,Locronan and Point du raz.-I want to know:
1)Could I take trains or buses to go from a village to another? Which one is cheaper and better?
2)If I want to spend only a few hours in some of this places Are there lockers in the train stations or some place to leave the baggage or suitcases for some hours?
3)The 1st, of May (Labour Day) and the 8st of May(Victory`s day) are they very restricted services? Are some restaurants open?
Since now, thank for your replies.

Anyone have any opinions about which town it would be better to stay in for a single late-afternoon/night en route back to Paris, Fougeres or Vitre? Thanks for the tips!

Thats exactly one of the things that has been on my mind!

This is the sort of folly one runs into on nature excursions!

Seems it must be a big forest with lots of places to get lost

by taking the wrong path.

We live in York, England, and we are hoping to visit Brittany between 16th and 23rd August 2007. We are trying to find out the prices and timetables for trains. We hope to catch a train from St.Malo, perhaps to Vannes or Lorient. We have a limited budget and will be bringing traditional instruments in the hope we can find some music/tunes. We would appreciate any suggestions regarding where to find cheap accommodation (B&B/bar/hotel) for the week, central to the areas specified, as we will be on foot. Any pointers for finding out about trains or where to find the nearest session/fest-noz or local musicians would be very helpful. Cheers.

Hello! I just found out that Alan Simon is taking his new Excaliber II on the road in June and the show will be at Brest Parc de Penfeld. Can anyone tell me about this venue? How does one get tickets to a show there from America? I will be flying into probably Paris and renting a car. Right now the itinerary is Brest on the 27th, Rennes on the 28th and Nantes on the 29th. Anyone know the best hotels? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Deb

I am writing a novel. One of my characters is a British scholar and he has a lovely villa in Brittany where he goes regularly and where he practices surfing. Beg Meil has the perfect name for obvious reasons in the novel. I assume that surfing is possible in Beg Meil and that the village has many “villas” that would suit my character very well. I would like to stay in the village for a weekend, somewhere quiet. My main purpose is to write a few pages in situ. Can you help?? I have a limited budget. Many thanks.

we want this summer go cycling with kids (13, 11, 8 years old) in Bretagne. Is this a good idea or are there to many hills in that area of France?

What did you find about Carantec. Is there possibility the go and drink a cup of coffee ? Are there shops ?

I am affraid to land in de middle of nowhere ?

Should Carantec be the right place for me ?

I like water, birds, promenades but also going out

Thanks
